Joshua Bell and Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition
Regrettably, conductor Jonathon Heyward has had to withdraw from this week’s concerts due to the recurring effects of a shoulder injury. BSO Assistant Conductor Anna Handler will make her Symphony Hall debut with these performances; the program remains unchanged.
