Meet Anna Binneweg: Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic's ​New Music Director

Binneweg says, "I am thrilled and deeply grateful to the musicians, staff, and Board of WMPA for choosing me to be WMP’s next musical leader in its 52nd season. I want to also recognize the immense impact of outgoing Music Director Ul James, whose artistic vision shaped WMPA for almost four decades and paved the way for exciting new growth in the future. When I performed for the first time with WMP in December 2022, I was immediately struck by the orchestra's extremely high artistic quality and sense of pride, but also their desire to evolve, explore new repertoire, and adapt as the modern world continues to change. I am very much looking forward to the powerful, transformative work we will do together in the coming seasons."

WMPA Traveling Friends' Next Adventure
Experience Milan with special access to La Scala workshop and a VIP welcome backstage prior to the performance. Enjoy the beauty of Lake Como and the gardens of Villa Melzi overlooking the waters off Bellagio. Visit the Swiss town of Lugano, savor the regional specialties of Lombardy, listen to a virtuoso perform on an original Stradivarius in Cremona and take in musical history at the birthplace of Ambrosian chant in Milan. In Verona we enjoy time to explore the lovely town and take in world class music at an evening concert, then travel to stunning Sirmione for breathtaking vistas across Lake Garda. The road to Slovenia takes in stunning Roman mosaics and a delightful seaside lunch before reaching the musical city of Ljubljana. Discover its treasures on a guided visit, then head into the Lake region around Bled for the International Wildflower Festival and truly magical mountain scenes. Capping this memorable visit is a private chamber concert in a unique underground setting, plus a performance in Ljubljana at the ballet or the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra.
