  • Jonathan Cohen leads the superlative H+H Orchestra and Chorus in that sweetest of Haydn’s The Seasons, followed by Beethoven’s astonishing Mass in C Major.
  • On The Bach Hour, the composer's Cantata No. 19, for St. Michael and All Angels, expresses a terrifying, visceral quality of battle, and a hope for protection and safety.
  • The Boston Symphony Orchestra launches a brand new season with the music by Mozart and Strauss, conducted by Music Director Andris Nelsons.
