Muti's concerts will include works by Verdi and Schubert and a world premiere of a work the symphony commissioned by composer and cellist Giovanni Sollima. The composer and famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma will perform the work along with the orchestra.

Muti also will lead the orchestra's performance of "Voices of Silence," written by Ennio Morricone. The work was written to commemorate the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
