Eschenbach Injury Forces Withdrawl

Christoph Eschenbach has canceled his appearance at the keyboard this weekend in a Philadelphia Orchestra chamber-music concert because of what the orchestra says is "a minor hand injury." His conducting activities with the orchestra during the month of January will go on as scheduled, a spokeswoman says.
Pianist Natalie Zhu will appear in his stead in Schumann’s Andante and Variations, WoO 10, for two pianos, two cellos and horn at the concert scheduled for Sunday in the Kimmel's Perelman Theater.
