LINEUP FOR HOLLYWOOD BOWL SEASON

A soloist lineup of familiar musical names--including Kiri Te Kanawa, Itzhak Perlman, James Galway, Shirley Verrett and Grace Bumbry--and two debutant conductors--Claus Peter Flor and Michelangelo Veltri--will appear at Hollywood Bowl in the 10-week summer season, July 9-Sept. 14.

The schedule of outdoor concerts at the amphitheater, summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, offers subscription orchestral concerts on four nights of the week, plus special events.

The season opens July 9, when Leonard Slatkin, music director of the St. Louis Symphony, conducts the Philharmonic in Berlioz’s “Roman Carnival” Overture and Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony, and pianist Andre Watts appears in Saint-Saens’ Second Concerto. It ends Sept. 14, with a “Fireworks Pops Finale” to be conducted by Sir Charles Groves and featuring pianist Earl Wild, who will play Liszt’s E-flat Concerto.

Among other promised highlights of the season are the first Philharmonic appearances by conductors Flor and Veltri, and the first Bowl appearance by the young Finnish conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen.

Salonen will conduct during the preseason week celebrating the tercentenary year of Johann Sebastian Bach; also appearing that week will be conductor Helmuth Rilling and the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus and Orchestra.

In addition, soprano Te Kanawa will make her Bowl debut, July 12 and 13; sopranos Bumbry and Verrett will sing together Aug. 6; duo-pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque will appear on the Gershwin Gala Aug. 2 and 3, and Michael Tilson Thomas will conduct Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 (the “Symphony of a Thousand”) July 30.
