Highlights of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's 2001-002 season include the
Schoenberg Prism, an in-depth examination of the composer's life and work,
and the Shostakovich Cycle, the inauguration of a five-year symphony cycle
that will culminate with the centennial of the composer's birth.  The
orchestra will also host a two-week Mozart Festival and will initiate
On Location, an annual artist residency program that will begin with
Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov.  The orchestra will also embark on
two major tours during the season, to Japan and to major European music
festivals.

The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra's 2001-02 season will feature a
special emphasis on the tonal music of Schoenberg.  The orchestra's
exploration of maverick composers will be expanded to include composers
of Italian and Pan-American origin and will feature the world premiere
of Henry Brant's "Ice Field." The orchestra will also present the world
premieres of a work by Georgian composer Giya Kancheli, of Steve Mackey's
"Pedal Tones," a piece composed to take advantage of the Davies Symphony
Hall Ruffatti Organ, and Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas's "Songs on
the Text of Emily Dickinson," written for soprano Renee Fleming.
