Gubaidulina Commission Postponed Again

The November SFS programs featuring the Brahms Requiem were to include a new work by Sofia Gubaidulina, but owing to the composer's illness, the new work will be replaced by Schoenberg’s Five Pieces for Orchestra and Schütz’s “Ich bin ein rechter Weinstock.”  (My memory is failing me: was this work also postponed a couple of years back?)

Yes, it was, when she was here for two weeks a couple of years ago.

Thank you - that's what I thought, but I dug around for the info in the wrong places and didn't find it.
