Zubin Mehta for his 80th – The Gala Concert in Mumbai

Synopsis

On April 29, 2016, Zubin Mehta will celebrate his 80th birthday. On April 17, however, he will offer himself a birthday present of his own, together with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which has appointed him Musical Director for Life. The event will take place in the new National Centre for the Performing Arts in Mehta's birthplace, Mumbai, in India. It will be a celebratory concert with works by three of Mehta's favorite composers: The program will include Dvoráks “Carnival Overture", Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin in D major, Op. 61 as well as Ravels’ “La Valse” and the second suite of “Daphnis & Chloé”. Pinchas Zukerman, one of Mehta's closest colleagues – who has also always had a close connection to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra – will be the soloist.
