Passion and reflection collide in this program of dynamic Eastern European works both new and classic

What’s Interesting About This Concert

  • Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, born in 1935, employs a minimalist style and self-invented techniques as the BSO performs one of his works for the first time
  • Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin turns familiar themes from Bizet’s Carmen into something entirely new in his adaptation for strings and percussion, a true showcase for BSO percussionists
  • Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings is beloved by audiences and players alike
