About the Music

The third American premiere and third BSO co-commission of the season is Elliott Carter’s Flute Concerto, a BSO co-commission premiered in Jerusalem in September 2008. BSO principal flutist Elizabeth Rowe makes her Symphony Hall solo debut in this lyrical concerto. The Overture and Entr’actes from Schubert’s incidental music to the 1823 play Rosamunde have had a far more successful life than the play itself, which closed after two performances. Brahms’s Symphony No. 4 is a beautiful, emotionally intense cornerstone of the symphonic repertoire.
