From a press release by Opus 3 Artists, management for the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields: "March 17, 2008 – Conductor Sir Neville Marriner and pianist Yuja Wang are replacing Murray Perahia as both conductor and soloist in the upcoming Academy of St. Martin in the Fields' 11-city U.S. tour, March 25 through April 9. Mr. Perahia has regrettably had to cancel his participation in the tour due to a skin infection for which he has been treated. In order to ensure a complete recovery, his doctors are not permitting him to perform for the next several weeks. The Academy is grateful to the Zagreb Philharmonic for agreeing to release Sir Neville from his prior engagement with them."
The program will change to:
1. Mozart: Symphony No. 31 in D Major, K. 297 “Paris”
2. Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, K. 491 [changed from Mozart Concerto No. 21 in C Major]
3. Mendelssohn: Sinfonia No. 10 in B minor [changed from Bach Concerto BWV 1054]
4. Haydn: Symphony No. 104 in D Major, “London”
