Upcoming Repartee Concert Dates
Tuesday, April 14 [Tix]
Shi-Yeon Sung, conductor
Nelson Freire, piano


SIBELIUS The Bard
GRIEG Piano Concerto
COPLAND Suite from Appalachian Spring
BARTÓK Suite from The Miraculous Mandarin


Special Guests for the Repartee Reception:
Anthony Fogg, speaker
Bill Ward & Anna Borges, musicians


 Korean conductor Shi-Yeon Sung makes her subscription series debut with this thoughtfully conceived program of music from four countries. The eminent Brazilian pianist Nelson Freire joins Ms. Sung and the BSO for the Norwegian Edvard Grieg's popular and romantic Piano Concerto. Finnish composer Jean Sibelius's short, meditative tone poem The Bard contrasts with the effusive openness of Aaron Copland's very American suite from Appalachian Spring. Closing the concert is the suite from Bartók's lurid, exotic ballet The Miraculous Mandarin.
Thursday, April 23 [Tix]
Yuri Temirkanov, conductor

RAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin
STRAVINSKY Pulcinella Suite
DEBUSSY Petite Suite
SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 9

Special Guests for the Repartee Reception:
Shi-Yeon Sung, speaker
Bill Ward & Anna Borges, musicians



 Russian conductor Yuri Temirkanov leads the BSO in Shostakovich's rarely performed Symphony No. 9. Cast in five movements, the Ninth is easily the most carefree of the composer's large-scale works. Debussy's early, short Petite Suite for piano four-hands was orchestrated colorfully by Henri Büsser in "Debussy style." Ravel made his own orchestrations of his piano suite Le Tombeau de Couperin, an homage to the French Baroque composer Couperin. Stravinsky's Pulcinella ballet takes some of its music from Pergolesi and refashions it in purely Stravinskian good humor.
