“An absolute dream come true is the chance to bring my two orchestras together for joint performances as part of the Boston Symphony Orchestra/Gewandhausorchester Alliance. In addition to sharing a deep musical heritage and co-commissioning several new works that speak to the future of our field, next season both orchestras are collaborating on stage for three performances, representing an absolutely unique event in the classical music world. I am so grateful to my colleagues at each orchestra for finding a way through the many challenges to make these performances a reality.”-Andris Nelsons

The Boston Symphony Orchestra/Gewandhausorchester Alliance, curated by Andris Nelsons, breaks new ground this year with the first-ever joint BSO/GHO concerts, taking place at Symphony Hall during the third “Leipzig Week in Boston.” In this third year of the BSO/GHO Alliance, the Gewandhausorchester itself comes to Boston in late October and early November.
