Marc Mandel
Director of Program Publications
As Director of Program Publications for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Marc Mandel is in charge of the BSO's program book and Pre-Concert Talks at Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood. Besides his program notes and talks for the BSO, he has written notes for various record labels and such other musical organizations as the San Francisco Symphony, New York Philharmonic, and Carnegie Hall; lectured for Carnegie Hall, the Handel & Haydn Society, the Cantata Singers, and the Clark Museum in Williamstown, MA; and has taught classes on symphonic music and opera. A longtime collector of historic recordings, he was in charge of the editorial content for the 12-CD box of BSO broadcasts, "Boston Symphony Orchestra Symphony Hall Centennial Celebration: From the Broadcast Archives 1943-2000," also participating in the selection process for the recordings in that set. Vocal music is another area of particular interest, as reflected in his regular reviews of opera and vocal CDs for Fanfare magazine. His translations of sung musical texts have included Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin (for Nonesuch Records), extended excerpts from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Götterdämmerung (all for the BSO program book), singing translations of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy and songs by Mahler and Berlioz (for Boston Symphony Youth Concerts), and songs by Richard Strauss. Mr. Mandel holds degrees from Brandeis, Yale, and Princeton universities. He heard his first Boston Symphony concert in 1967 and joined the orchestra's staff in the fall of 1978.Back
