Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s “Eroica” 
Symphony (No. 3) and “Egmont” Overture and Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” in a concert at 7:30 p.m. BST (2:30 p.m. EDT)
June 23 at Royal Festival Hall in London.
The Guardian is live-streaming the performance here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/interactive/2012/jun/21/simon-bolivar-symphony-orchestra-live-stream
A June 26 London concert by Dudamel and the Bolívar also can be seen and heard online on the website of the British newspaper.
“The Tao of Mohammed Ali (a Ghost Story)” by the Richmond-based composer D.J. Sparr and librettist Davis Miller will be introduced in June 2013 by the Washington National Opera as part 
of its American Opera Initiative.
The hour-long work tells the story of a reporter’s first encounter with the great boxer, which proves to be a transformative experience. A fully staged performance will be presented in the Terrace Theater of Washington’s Kennedy Center, with a cast and creative team to be named later. Open workshops will be held during the opera’s process of development.
In November, the American Opera Initiative will stage performances of three 20-minute operas by young composers and librettists. They, as well as Sparr and Miller, will be mentored by Jake Heggie, composer of “Dead Man Walking” and “Moby-Dick;” librettist Mark Campbell, who provided the texts for Ricky Ian Gordon’s Civil War song cycle “Rappahannock County” and Kevin Puts’ opera “Silent Night,” winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for music; and Anne Manson, who conducts the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra and has led many performances of contemporary opera.
Conductor Robert Wood of UrbanArias also will work with the composers and librettists during workshops in October. WNO Artistic Advisor Francesca Zambello will mentor directors and designers for the four operas.
Sparr, a former composer-in-residence with the Richmond Symphony’s Education and Community Engagement program, currently is Young American Composer-in-Residence with the California Symphony Orchestra. His wife, Kimberly Sparr, is the Richmond Symphony’s assistant principal violist.
A fall Philip Glass Festival, a return engagement by the Takács Quartet for a two-concert cycle of the six Bartók string quartets, the local debut of pianist Simone Dinnerstein in a recital centered 
on Bach and a homecoming for baritone Matthew Worth highlight the 2012-13 season of the Modlin Arts Center at the University of Richmond.
In its ninth season in residence at UR, the new-music sextet eighth blackbird will perform in the first concert of the Glass festival, sample the works of the highly regarded contemporary composer Nico Muhly, participate in the Third Practice Electroacoustic Music Festival and a John Cage centennial concert, and give musical demonstrations during UR’s Neumann Lecture on Music, “Music and the Brain,” by Craig Wright of Yale University.
Glass, whose 75th birthday is being
celebrated worldwide this year, will speak on “Collaboration and the Creative Process” and perform with violinist Tim Fain. The Glass festival also will feature screenings of “Koyaanisqatsi” and Jean Cocteau’s “Beauty and the Beast,” for which Glass wrote musical scores, and Scott Hicks’ documentary “Glass: a Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts.”
Worth, a UR alumnus (class of 2000) whose opera career has included two starring roles with Virginia Opera in recent seasons, will return for a recital of American theater and art songs.
Other classical attractions in the coming Modlin season include the Shanghai Quartet with violist Paul Neubauer and a first Richmond performance by France’s celebrated Ebène Quartet.
Artists from the UR Music Department and guests will present two programs marking the centenary of the pioneering American modernist and musical experimenter John Cage, performances of Brahms’ “Liebeslieder Waltzes” and Schubert’s “Die Winterreise,” an all-American program by the UR Symphony Orchestra featuring pianist Charles Staples 
playing Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and an Earth Day outdoor performance of John Luther Adams’ “Inuksuit” (“Stone Marker”) for 99 percussionists.
Jazz, folk and world-music performers booked for 2012-13 include singer Judy Collins, the Portuguese fado singer Ana Moura, a “Retro Roots Tour” starring Virginia bluegrass master Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys, jazz bassist Ben Williams and Sound Effect, a “Spirituals to Funk” show by New Orleans pianist-singer Dr. John and the Blind Boys of Alabama, the pipes and drums of Scotland’s Black Watch 3rd Batallion and a reunion of pop singer-guitarist John Sebastian and folk-jazz mandolinist David Grisman.
A stellar dance lineup will be headlined by the Mark Morris Dance Group, Jessica Lang Dance and the Russian National Ballet in Tchaikovsky’s “The Sleeping Beauty.”
Among the coming season’s touring theatrical attractions are L.A. Theatre Works’ production of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” “Cirque Chinois” by the National Circus of the People’s Republic of China, The Acting Company’s production of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” and the martial arts ballet of the Shaolin Warriors.

SCOUTING REPORT
Festivities: Classical summer festivals tend to mix the familiar and unknown, substantive and diverting,
grand-scale and intimate, formal and casual – sometimes in 
the same performance. All those qualities, even a few of those “sometimes” occasions, can be found in Virginia’s music festivals and summer venues this season. Bach’s Mass in B minor (Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival, June 10) shares the airspace with Meredith Wilson’s “The Music Man” (Ash Lawn Opera, July 29-Aug. 7), Bizet’s “Carmen” (Castleton Festival, June 30-July 8) with Stravinsky’s “The Rake’s Progress” (Wolf Trap Opera Company, Aug. 3-11). . . . There’s Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony in the chamber arrangement (!) made for Arnold Schoenberg’s Society for Private Musical Performances (Wintergreen Festival, July 7-8); Peter Schickele’s “Shleptet” (Fredericksburg Chamber Music Festival, June 7); two pairings within a single week of Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Violin Sonata and Janáček’s First String Quartet, subtitled “Kreutzer Sonata” (Richmond Chamber Players, Aug. 12; Garth Newel Chamber Players, Aug. 18); Handel’s “Zadok the Priest” and Peter Maxwell Davies’ “Eight Songs for a Mad King” on the same program (Staunton Music Festival, Aug. 22); and more than one might expect in the way of contemporary music, including the premiere of Paul Moravec’s Piano Quartet (Garth Newel, July 21). Good thing gas prices have fallen.
