The international Bachtrack website is in the process of uploading its global database of classical music programs for the upcoming season.
Although it isn’t an exhaustive listing of every orchestral group, the site covers nearly all of the major orchestras, opera and ballet companies and other important ensembles around the world, making it the “go-to” resource for information about what’s happening on the concert calendar.
The 2016/17 concert season features three important compositions by Florent Schmitt which will be performed by six top-notch orchestras in Berlin, London, Paris, Philadelphia, Stockholm and Tokyo conducted by Kazuyoshi Akiyama, Stéphane Denève, Fabien Gabel, Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Sakari Oramo.
