The Pre-Concert Talk will be given by Marc Mandel, Director of Program Publications, from 6:45 PM - 7:15 PM at Symphony Hall. Free to performance ticket holders. Pre-Concert Talks are sponsored by New England Coffee.

Maestro Temirkanov has canceled his upcoming United States engagements. Mark Wigglesworth will conduct the concerts on April 16, 17, and 18 for which the soloists and program remain as planned.

Regrettably, Julia Fischer has had to withdraw as soloist from the BSO concerts on April 16, 17 & 18 for personal reasons. We are very fortunate that Isabelle Faust has now agreed to perform the Beethoven Violin Concerto for these concerts.

British conductor Mark Wigglesworth makes his BSO debut with this program, which also features two internationally acclaimed soloists. German violinist Isabelle Faust, who made her BSO debut under James Levine's direction in February 2008 with music of Alban Berg, returns as soloist in Beethoven’s broadly lyrical Violin Concerto. German soprano Juliane Banse, well known for her performances of recital, orchestral, and operatic repertoire, makes her BSO debut in Mahler’s heartwarming, sunlit Symphony No. 4, which has as its finale a setting of the poem “The Heavenly Life,” from the German folk poetry collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn (“Youth’s Magic Horn”).
