3.00pm Symphony Hall 301 Mass. Avenue MA 02115 Details: Web site +1 617 236 0999 | Boston Philharmonic Orchestra 2024-25 Opening Concert Boston Philharmonic Orchestra Benjamin Zander, conductor Alexander Baillie, cello Radcliffe Choral Society Purcell (arr. Britten): Chacony in G Minor Elgar: Cello Concerto Holst: The Planets Boston Philharmonic 2024-25 Season event 2 The Boston Philharmonic Orchestra's second concert of the 2024-25 season features an all-British program, a nod to Conductor Benjamin Zander's native England and his personal connections to the composers (he studied with both Benjamin Britten and Imogen Holst, Gustav’s daughter). For the first time ever, the Orchestra performs Benjamin Britten's exquisite realization of Purcell’s Chacony in G Minor, which pays homage to the Baroque master while infusing it with modern sensibilities. Acclaimed British cellist Alexander Baillie, who has performed with the Orchestra eight times previously over the course of 30 years, performs next on Elgar's Cello Concerto, a poignant exploration of loss and longing. The concert culminates in Holst's popular The Planets (which heavily influenced the music of John Williams) featuring the Radcliffe Choral Society, a woman’s chorus that will sound as if it is singing from the farthest reaches of the solar system. |

Ford, poet/recitation Composers Concordance On Thursday, October 31st at 7pm, Composers Concordance presents 'Charles Vs. Gene'. Charles Coleman and Gene Pritsker have been friendly adversaries for over 30 years. On the friendly side, they have performed each other's music and have a genuine admiration and respect for each other's "awesome" craft. On the adversary side, Charles and Gene have argued about the purpose of music, how it should be composed, arranged, performed, "mistakes" in each other's scores, composers that suck, don't suck, etc. A lot of these issues between them usually come up when there are a few beers involved. In the end, they decided.....let's settle this! Who is the better composer?! So, on Halloween Night at Kostabi World in NYC, it's going to happen! |
