Warm up at the BSO this evening.
In these concerts led by the great German conductor Christoph von Dohnányi, BSO principal players Elizabeth Rowe, flute, and John Ferrillo, oboe, step to the front of the orchestra to perform György Ligeti’s 1972 Double Concerto. Making her BSO subscription series debut, the young German violinist Arabella Steinbacher is soloist in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4. Antonín DvoÅ™ák wrote his powerful yet elegant Symphony No. 7 for London’s Royal Philharmonic Society. The success of this 1885 work helped greatly to establish the composer’s international fame.
And remember:
$20 Tickets to Patrons under 40!
The Boston Symphony Orchestra will continue to offer $20 concert tickets to patrons under the age of 40 to BSO concerts for this season, thanks to a generous contribution by an anonymous underwriter who will make up the difference between the full and discounted ticket prices. The tickets, normally priced from $29 to $118, will be made available to all Boston Symphony concerts during the 2010-11 season.
