On WCRB In Concert with the Boston Festival Orchestra, the BFO launches their fifth anniversary Summer Stage celebration with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. Complementing this masterpiece is Dorothy Chang’s Skizzen (2020), a work that reimagines the Fifth Symphony's iconic four-note motif, weaving it into a dynamic and innovative soundscape. The program also features "Swept Away," a violin concerto composed by BFO Artistic Director Alyssa Wang, in reflection of her late father’s battle with cancer.
