Program Change for Programs 3 & 4 of Beethoven, The Complete Symphonies Lorin Maazel, one of the world's most respected conductors, will lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the final two programs of the orchestra's Beethoven's cycle, including the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth symphonies, October 30-November 7, at Symphony Hall. Mr. Maazel will also lead the BSO in its upcoming Carnegie Hall program Beethoven's Sixth and Seventh symphonies, on November 2. Maestro Maazel steps in for BSO Music Director James Levine, whose doctors have advised him to postpone returning to his conducting schedule until he is more fully recovered from surgery that took place earlier this month for a herniated disc.
About the Music
Symphony No. 6, Pastoral and Symphony No.7 The third program in the BSO's historic Beethoven symphony cycle pairs two of the composer's most beautiful and lyrical symphonies. The Symphony No. 6, Pastoral, is a programmatic work narrating a pleasant day spent in the country, with cuckoos, dancing peasants, and a thunderstorm. The Seventh Symphony, premiered at the end of 1813, has been an audience favorite ever since.
