Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Conversations with Tyler.
Today, I'm happy to be here in New York City with David Robertson,
who is one of my favorite classical conductors.
In the year, I think, 2003, I went to hear David in Paris at IRCOM,
and I've been thinking about him and what he does ever since.
He served as principal conductor of the Ensemble Intercontemporain from 1992 to 2000,
has been chief conductor in Sydney, Australia, music director in St. Louis,
where he's credited with having revitalized that symphony,
and he is very well known for his numerous recordings,
including those of John Adams, Pierre Boulez, George Gershwin, and much more.
He teaches at Juilliard, and he conducts regularly at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
And this summer, he's conducting with the New York Philharmonic,
an exciting concert featuring Stravinsky's Petrusca 1911 edition.
David, welcome.
Thank you very much.
