Marek Janowski, age 85, is set to make his highly anticipated debut with the New York Philharmonic, leading a concert featuring works by Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Weber. Despite having an esteemed career across several top European orchestras, this marks a significant moment as he has never before collaborated with the Philharmonic. His debut, initially planned for 2020, was delayed due to the pandemic. Janowski expressed joy in finally participating in this vibrant orchestral atmosphere and emphasized his dedication to making this experience memorable for both the orchestra and audience.
Finally, I have the chance to meet you and to work with you, I’ve waited more than 85 years for this moment. Janowski has led many of the world's top ensembles, but never the Philharmonic.
As a very old guy, I get the chance to work with this wonderful orchestra. I enjoy the atmosphere very much.
He was finally set to make his New York Philharmonic debut in 2020; after the coronavirus pandemic, the engagement was rescheduled for this season.
The Philharmonic said in a statement that his debut was long overdue, and that he was an artist our orchestra and audience should experience.
