After conductor Karina Canellakis’ recent performances with the Minnesota Orchestra, the Star Tribune raved about her “infectious enthusiasm” and “fiery energy.” Now, she returns to the podium to conduct music by Julia Perry and Sergei Rachmaninoff. At the center of the concerts, cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras makes his Minnesota Orchestra debut as soloist in Richard Strauss’ musical depiction of Don Quixote, in which the cello plays the leading role of Don Quixote de la Mancha and a solo violist from the ensemble is featured as his squire, Sancho Panza.
