Hello Kimberly and everybody!  I saw this article this morning, and at first I thought the dates clashed with Hayley's tour of New Zealand this month. Then I realised the concerts are in January 2007. I just wonder if this is really too much notice, because a lot can change in over a year!  Best Wishes, Richard  |

I just wonder if this is really too much notice, because a lot can change in over a year! Best Wishes, Richard Me too. At first, I thought it is 2006. I also think that it is too early to make a notice. Raymond |

Yep, I saw it too and have been wondering if it's too early to set up a new "2007 schedule" board! For the time being, perhaps it is as well to leave the post here. Thank's Kim, you have saved me the trouble!  Certainly managers have to plan far ahead but I am surprised that details have been made public this far in advance. As Richard has said, a lot can change between now and then, so we have to say that nothing has yet been confirmed from the Hayley camp. Roger |

Yo-Yo Ma headlines new season
Symphony's schedule includes a 3-day stop here by master cellist
By CHARLES WARD
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle
For its 2006-07 season, the Houston Symphony announced a coup.
Yo-Yo Ma, the world's most popular cellist, will stop here for a full three-concert subscription series program instead of his now customary one-night gala. He'll play the world's most favorite cello concerto, Dvorák's (Jan. 18, 20-21, 2007).
"Aurelie (Demarais) was talking with angels' tongues," music director Hans Graf quipped about his artistic administrator's success in snaring Ma.
On the other hand, because celebrity pianist Lang Lang's schedule was so full, Houston could get him for only one, nonsubscription concert (May 16, 2007). He'll play works of Chopin and Liszt.
Overall, the 2006-07 classical programs continue the symphony's careful balance between selling tickets and offering artistically challenging programs.
The nine-program pops series will feature the Houston debut of the 18-year-old New Zealand singing sensation Hayley Westenra.
Typical of Graf's ideas is the pairing of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, with the last-movement setting of Schiller's Ode to Joy, and John Adams' meditation honoring victims of 9/11, On the Transmigration of Souls (Sept. 14, 16-17).
He will also pair two Russian works memorializing horrific foreign invasions: Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7, Leningrad (Nov. 9, 11-12).
Among more popular programs will be a Who's Who of Russian composers with pianist Louis Lortie playing concertos of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev (Sept. 28, 30, Oct 1). An all-Gershwin program closes the season with Rice University pianist Jon Kimura Parker soloing in the Piano Concerto (May 17, 19-20, 2007).
Graf will also conduct Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 (Jan 12-14, 2007) and Shostakovich's Suite on Sonnets of Michelangelo Buonarroti with Beethoven's Eroica Symphony (March 1, 2-4, 2007).
Two conductors will make debuts: Norwegian Arild Remmereit and Brit Jane Glover (for Handel's Messiah).
Returning maestros are Jeffrey Kahane, Thomas Dausgaard, Robert Spano (music director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra), Carlos Kalmar, Peter Oundjian, Claus Peter Flor (an all-Wagner program) and Itzhak Perlman (two nonsubscriptions concerts on which he'll also play).
Soloists debuting are Chinese pianist Yuja Wang and American pianist Jeremy Dent.

Hi all, I think it is never (!!!) to early to get an information about a concert or other event etc. So everybody can reserve this date at his own schedule as a precaution. This is independent of any official confirmation. Now I make my own plans for trips etc. until 2007 also, i.e. October, 8th 2007 I will stay in New York to celebrate my 50th at Times Square  . I hope Hayley will make a concert at this day in N.Y, but I believe it is very very unlikely - unfortunately Greetings, Lothar |

Don't tell him, but I have a feeling she was going to appear that night anyway! She didn't do anything for MY 50th.  Roger |

But I planned it myself you know - I deliberately booked at the Palladium in 2004 on the eve of my 50th . I had the good sense to adjust my travel plans to Hayley's schedule .... Plus I had the patience to wait until midnight after the concert so I could meet her on my 50th .... Cheers, Gerrit |

Yeah, but her departure was delayed by a presentation inside the venue if I remember correctly. In fact, she kept you waiting so long that you were nearly still there on your 51st! Roger |
