  • On The Bach Hour, Canadian Brass applies their burnished sonic brilliance and seamless musicality to excerpts from the composer's "Goldberg Variations."
  • Thomas Adès leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra in music inspired by the natural world: Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony, Adès’ "Aquifer", and his violin concerto "Concentric Paths," featuring BSO Artist-in-Residence Augustin Hadelich, on demand.
  • On WCRB In Concert with the TMCO, Andris Nelsons conducts Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2, with soloist Yuja Wang, and the musicians of the Tanglewood Music Center perform additional works by Smetana, Beethoven, and Ravel.
What makes an opera performance great? GBH Music partnered with Boston Lyric Opera, New England Conservatory of Music, and legendary opera singers Patricia Racette, Susan Graham, and Davóne Tines to explore an extraordinary art form.
