Barber: Knoxville, Summer of 1915

Brahms' choral masterpiece, A German Requiem, was begun as a loving farewell to his mother, concluding as a grandly moving musicalcommentary on the fleeting beauty of human life.

Schubert: Symphony No. 8, "Unfinished"
R. Strauss: Duett-Concertino
Beethoven: Triple Concerto
A program of collaborative intensity, this concert features treasures from across two centuries, artfully perf...ormed by four soloists drawn from the BSO's principal musicians, as well as the director of the Peabody Institute. Schubert's pulsing and lyrical "Unfinished" Symphony sets the stage with currents of tender longing. Richard Strauss' Duett-Concertino is a loving portrait of musical charm, and Beethoven's Triple Concerto, written for one of the composer's best piano students, masterfully combines chamber music intimacy with orchestral power.

Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf
Stravinsky: Pulcinella Suite
It's story time at the symphony—and not just for kids. Prokofiev's classic tale of a heroic boy and threatening wolf takes center stage in this concert of musical storytelling. The morning also includes a suite from Stravinsky's ballet Pulci...nella, its angular music mirroring a puppet tale of mad cap comedy.

Cards, games and puppets. This program in our late-winter carnival features concert presentations of two 20th-century American operas. O...ne, by Samuel Barber, is sung over a game of cards in ten minutes, followed by a groundbreaking work by George Gershwin, mixing jazz, voice and Americana—laying the foundation for Porgy and Bess. The evening ends with Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella, its neo-classical music mirroring a puppet tale of madcap comedy.

Corigliano: Symphony No. 3, "Circus Maximus"
Our four-week carnival goes to the center ring with musical giants and tigers and wolves, oh my! We open with a quick work by David Little, who imagines a circus very nearly out of control—in laughter, music, ...and mayhem. Prokofiev's classic and triumphal tale of a heroic boy and threatening wolf takes center stage, only to be followed by a crazy and gargantuan musical portrayal of the Circus Maximus from ancient Rome. Here, bigger-than-life entertainments stand as humorous commentary on our own busy and bustling lives.
