The conductor Michael Tilson Thomas has always been a performer who communicates joy when sharing the music he loves.On Thursday, there was also a deep sense of gratitude: Speaking from the stage, he called his appearance with the New York Philharmonic a lovely, affirming surprise.Although he made no direct mention of his health, many in the audience understood the context: In the summer of 2021, Thomas, 78, learned that he had glioblastoma, an aggressive and terminal form of brain cancer.
