Chief Conductor Charles Dutoit, Principal Flute Jeffrey Khaner, and The Philadelphia Orchestra give the US premiere of Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto in D minor (“Il gran Mogol”) on March 4, 5, and 8. The previously unknown score of this Vivaldi work was discovered in the National Archives of Scotland in 2010 by Andrew Woolley, research fellow at the University of Southampton. The program also includes the world premiere of Jonathan Leshnoff’s Flute Concerto, written for Mr. Khaner, as well as Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole and Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben.
