Serge Koussevitsky

Edwin Barker, Principal Double Bassist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, illuminates the connection between Serge Koussevitzky's chosen instrument and its impact on the history of the BSO.

On WCRB In Concert with GBH Music, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players celebrate Serge Koussevitzky's 150th birthday with a program saluting the former BSO Music Director's profound impact on the music of his time.

In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Serge Koussevitzky, Andris Nelsons leads a concert that includes Koussevitzky’s Double Bass Concerto, with soloist Edwin Barker, as well as spectacular works by Steven Mackey, Sibelius, and Scriabin.

On WCRB In Concert with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, Andris Nelsons conducts Debussy's "La Mer" and Dima Slobodeniouk leads the TMCO in Sibelius's Second Symphony, part of a program of highlights from the summer of 2023 in the Berkshires.

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.
