Leonard Bernstein will conduct the Vienna Philharmonic on Sept. 24 to open the season at Carnegie Hall. At a news conference in New York Wednesday, general manager Judith Arron said the Carnegie Hall Corp. will present 154 events during the season, which includes Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Carnegie debut conducting the Swedish Radio Orchestra. The Leningrad State Symphony also is scheduled; German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau will make his first Carnegie Hall appearance since 1980, and the Atlanta Symphony will perform choral works. A two-hour special of last December’s reopening, after a seven-month restoration, will be shown on CBS-TV on April 21.
