Esa-Pekka Salonen and SFS released E-PS's first season as music director, and hoo boy, it is something. Briefly, after a five-minute look at the press release and season calendar:
- Lots of new music and old music new to SFS
- Multiple opera performances, including Elektra (Goerke, Magee, other good folks!) and Bluebeard's Castle
- Themes!
- New guest conductors
- New guest soloists
- Composers I spotted: Adès, Ginastera, Chavez, Salonen, Price, lots of others
- MTT: four weeks, mostly old favs, but including the Missa Solemnis
- Blomstedt: two weeks
More later, and if you want to check all of this out yourself, you can read the calendar and press releases at SFS.

Such an exciting season! I've renewed my subscription and will sit down and figure out my exchanges, add-ons, and two freebies soon.
IT IS!! I am really thrilled.
