NEW YORK—French-Canadian conductor Bernard Labadie, the principal conductor designate of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, led the orchestra in its triumphant second concert of the season at Carnegie Hall.
The opening work was the rarely performed 1791 “Olympie” Overture by Joseph Martin Kraus (1756–1792). Though he was born in Germany, Kraus spent most of his career at the Swedish court of King Gustav III and was known as “the Swedish Mozart.” (He was born in the same year as Mozart and died one year later.)
