Richard Ascroft: Bell; Martin Sigmund: Orozco-Estrada
Tonight at 8:00pm in an encore broadcast from last summer, Andrés Orozco-Estrada makes his Tanglewood debut conducting Dvořák’s much-beloved Ninth Symphony, and the inimitable Joshua Bell joins to play Lalo’s spirited Symphonie espagnole.
The Boston Pops perform in the Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade surrounded by red, white, and blue fireworks.
All summer long, WCRB is spotlighting American music and the composers who weave the musical fabric of our country.
  • Music by Tchaikovsky begins the first full weekend of Boston Symphony performances at Tanglewood, including the First Piano Concerto with soloist Seong-Jin Cho and selections from Swan Lake — all led by Andris Nelsons.
  • On WCRB In Concert with GBH Music, the two-time Grammy-nominated Neave Trio closes out GBH Music’s 2025-2026 season with "American Mosaics," a program celebrating the diverse voices that have shaped, and been shaped by, American musical traditions.
  • On The Bach Hour, a simple tune is continually transformed, creating the foundations of multiple themes in the composer's Cantata No. 93, conducted by Ton Koopman.
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.
