The Philharmonic Society of Orange County announced its 2013-2014 concert schedule today, the 60th season for the presenter and the last for president and artistic director Dean Corey, who will retire in June 2014. A number of events will offer tribute to Corey, who has led the Society since 1993, including a Dean Corey Legacy Concerts series that features a return visit by the Vienna Philharmonic and the publication of a book by Corey, "Beethoven: The Late Great, 33 Personal Essays." The season also includes the performance of a complete opera in concert.
The Vienna Philharmonic, one of the world's most celebrated, returns to Segerstrom Concert Hall on March 3 (2014), with Italian conductor Daniele Gatti leading a program of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony and Mahler's Symphony No. 4 (with soprano Juliane Banse as soloist).
Pianist Yuja Wang will perform a recital in October for the Philharmonic Society.
