DESCRIPTION:Aug 12-13\, 2026\nSome paths are predestined. Rather than hire 
 a babysitter for her toddler\, Daniele Rustioni’s mother—a member of t
 he professional chorus of the Teatro alla Scala in his native Milan—took
  him along to rehearsals. Did he soon join the boys’ choir there? Is the
  Pope Catholic? Growing up\, Daniele also studied cello\, piano\, and orga
 n\, plus composition—the bedrock discipline for a true maestro\, though 
 many don’t bother. As a graduate of the Milan Conservatory and the Royal
  Academy of Music\, London\, Rustioni has sterling credentials to brandish
 . More than that\, he has a personality—lively\, exacting\, appreciative
 \, unpretentious—that invites his players and singers to excel. At 43\, 
 as music director emeritus of institutions in Lyon\, Belfast\, and Tuscany
 \, he seems focused on free-lancing for now—a preference with which his 
 principal-guest appointments with the Metropolitan Opera and Tokyo Metropo
 litan Symphony Orchestra do not interfere. Last season\, a concert perform
 ance with the Juilliard Pre-College Orchestra—he sandwiched the world pr
 emiere of the jazz legend Patrice Rushen’s supertricky Keepers of the Kr
 own between the Met’s dress rehearsal and opening night of a dicey reviv
 al of Giordano’s Andrea Chenier—bore especially glowing witness to Rus
 tioni’s talent to inspire. Back-to-back programs with the Philadelphia O
 rchestra at the sylvan Saratoga Performing Arts Center\, open to the (ofte
 n balmy\, sometimes humid\, not infrequently electric) night air of the Ad
 irondacks promise pleasures of a high order. The sweeping Korngold Violin 
 Concerto\, headlined by the rising star Bomsori Kim\, plus Mussorgsky’s 
 indestructible Pictures at an Exhibition are on offer on August 12\; the n
 ext evening\, Emanuel Ax is the magisterial soloist in Beethoven’s Piano
  Concerto No. 5 (“Emperor”)\, with the First Symphony of Brahms (also 
 known among aficionados as Beethoven’s Tenth) to follow.
