Berlioz and Ravel - UnderScore Friday
Boston Symphony Orchestra
Boston Symphony Hall Boston MA
$32.00 - $120.00
This performance is an UnderScore Friday event and will feature Jessica Zhou, BSO harpist, who will speak from the stage at the start of this program. A complimentary reception after the show will follow.
French pianist Cédric Tiberghien makes his BSO debut with
Ravel's scintillating Piano Concerto in G. German conductor
Christoph Eschenbach leads these concerts, which begin and end with
Berlioz. Opening the program is the fantastical overture to the
composer's picaresque Italian Renaissance opera Benvenuto
Cellini. Closing the program is Berlioz's most famous work,
the Symphonie fantastique, which traces the evolution
of an artist's feverish romantic obsession with a woman who does
not respond in kind.
