Guest conductor Earl Lee first got our attention at the 2017/18 WSO RBC Emerging Canadian Conductors Showcase. Since then, the Korean-Canadian conductor has gone on to captivate audiences around the world. He is the music director of the Ann Arbor Symphony and assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Lee will lead the WSO in a programme that includes Beethoven’s beautifully serene and idyllic Symphony No.6. Pastorale, plus a new work by Carlos Simon that had its premiere in 2020. Fate Now Conquers uses the second movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No.7 to depict the uncertainty and inevitability of fate, a path Beethoven so often felt hovering over him as he lived and worked.
