Slatkin's Beethoven Eighth April 30, 2009

Leonard Slatkin premiered the Sierra Missa Latina at the Kennedy Center and now brings it to Houston with the same soloists. The Washington Times said, "Mr. Sierra's new work is, quite simply, shockingly brilliant." In 2008-2009 Slatkin becomes Music Director in Detroit and Principal Guest Conductor in Pittsburgh. His more than 100 recordings have earned five GRAMMY(R) Awards and more than sixty nominations.
