Host
The Boston Philharmonic welcomes our Groupmuse community back for another chance to witness the transformative power of music at discounted prices.
Here's what conductor Benjamin Zander has to say about the upcoming program:
"First, Purcell's Chacony in G Minor as realized by Benjamin Britten, who was an early mentor to the conductor and a significant guide to his musical development. British cellist Alexander Baillie, a quintessential, complete musician, returns yet again to Boston! Baillie's enveloping warmth and hugeness of spirit are exactly the qualities the Elgar Cello Concerto requires. With this performance, he returns for his EIGHTH concerto appearance with the BPO (he has played Dvořák, Dutilleux, Lutoslawski, Elgar, Bridge, Haydn C Major and Shostakovich First). And he doesn't just play the Elgar: he IS the Elgar Concerto, as you will hear and see. Concluding the program is Holst's The Planets, one of the most thrilling orchestral extravaganzas ever composed. It is a work that MUST be experienced live in the renowned acoustics of Symphony Hall. No recording has ever truly captured its sonic variety and magnificence."
Boston Phil's very own conductor, Benjamin Zander will give a free "guide to the music" lecture in Symphony Hall prior to the concert, beginning at 1:45! His enthusiastic and engaging lectures on music aren't one to miss! Check out his TED talk here.
We only have a limited number of discounted tickets to this fabulous concert, so get yours today before they fly!
Children ages 5 and up are welcomed. Seating will be assigned. Groupmuse ticket buyers are instructed to pick up their tickets at Will Call prior to the performance.
Groupmusers requiring ADA wheelchair accessible seating are asked to email [email protected] ahead of time so that we can accommodate the seats.
