On Sunday, October 1, at 3 p.m., the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops, in partnership with the City of Boston, will present a special free concert in Boston's Franklin Park.

Franz Joseph Haydn and Gustav Mahler defined the genre of the symphony during their respective eras- Haydn as one of its originators in the late 18th-century Classical era, and Mahler as revitalizer and innovator at the end of the Romantic era.

On October 20, Deutsche Grammophon will release a limited-edition, 57-CD boxed set of the label's entire legacy of BSO recordings, reflecting the orchestra's spirit and character over a period spanning the years 1969 to 2017. Pre-order to receive free shipping!
