RAVEL Alborada del gracioso
STRAVINSKY The Firebird (1919 suite)
French conductor Nathalie Stutzmann makes her BSO conducting debut with German violinist Veronika Eberle in her Symphony Hall debut in Beethoven’s towering Violin Concerto. Ravel's Alborada del gracioso and Stravinsky’s ballet score The Firebird are both marvels of orchestral brilliance from the 1910s: Ravel’s one of his many Spanish-influenced confections and Stravinsky’s a journey through a Russian folk tale of heroism, magic, and renewal that vaulted the composer to the forefront of modern music.
Thursday evening’s concert is generously supported by Alexander Healy.
Saturday evening’s concert is generously supported by Cecilia O’Keefe in memory of Jane O’Keefe.
Saturday evening’s performance by Veronika Eberle is generously supported by the Rabb Family Foundation.
