Dmitri Shostakovich

The pop-classical soundtrack to Netflix's hit series "Bridgerton" isn't historically accurate, but that's the whole point.

The BSO's next season at Symphony Hall is anchored by Composer Chair Carlos Simon, major undertakings in works by Mahler, Beethoven, and Shostakovich with Music Director Andris Nelsons, and much, much more.

On WCRB in Concert with the Celebrity Series of Boston, the Danish String Quartet shares folk tunes from their native Denmark and Norway, as well as string quartets by Haydn and Shostakovich and three divertimenti by Britten.

Andris Nelsons leads the BSO and soloists in Shostakovich's explosive opera "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk," with soprano Kristine Opolais, tenors Brendan Gunnell and Peter Hoare, and bass Günther Groissböck.

This encore broadcast celebrates the BSO's rich recording discography, centered on Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 2 and Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1 with Music Director Andris Nelsons, plus works by Thomas Adès and Ferruccio Busoni.

Yo-Yo Ma is the soloist in Shostakovich’s powerfully emotional cello concertos, and Andris Nelsons leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Haydn’s Symphony No. 22, the "Philosopher," and Iman Habibi’s "Zhiân."

Summer vacation season is here. How are you planning to travel?

The culmination of an era-defining project, two mini-festivals, and two major anniversaries only begin to describe a BSO season of illuminating artistic depth, rich musical color, and historic significance.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the warm brew in your cup is delightful. Composers thought so too!

In an encore Boston Symphony Orchestra broadcast, Latvian violinist Baiba Skride is the soloist in Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, and Andris Nelsons leads the orchestra in works by Pärt and Stravinsky, as well as Saariaho’s "Saarikoski Songs," with soprano Anu Komsi.
