Mark Piszczek – Songs from the Gulf of Sorrows {WORLD PREMIERE}
Ludwig van Beethoven – Symphony No. 9 “Ode to Joy”
Christopher Confessore, Music Director & Principal Conductor
Message from the Maestro:
Few musical experiences match the scope and power of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Every performance of this symphony is an event – our October 24th performance marks just the second time in the BSO’s 62 year history we’ve tackled this epic piece. We’ll also present the World Premiere of Mark Piszczek’s Songs from the Gulf of Sorrows, a work dedicated to the wildlife victims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Will there be Concert Conversations with Chris Confessore for this concert? Yes
