  • Salonen leads the Boston Symphony in his own Horn Concerto, with soloist Stefan Dohr, a piece inspired by Bruckner’s soaring Symphony No. 4, the “Romantic” Symphony.
  • On The Bach Hour, the Academy for Ancient Music Berlin brings vibrant textures and colors to the composer's ultimate musical statement in counterpoint, and John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Cantata No. 181, confronting "light-minded, frivolous spirits."
  • BSO Assistant Conductor Anna Handler leads the orchestra in Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante, with Concertmaster Nathan Cole and Principal Viola Steven Ansell as soloists, as well as Gabriella Smith’s "Bioluminescence Chaconne" and Tchaikovsky's Suite from "Swan Lake."
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.
