Boston Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Benjamin Zander

BOSTON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA 2011/2012 SEASON
This event occurs in the past, Feb 23
45 Quincy St, Cambridge, MA   (view map)

Music Director Benjamin Zander has a high-octane program called “Breaking Free of Chains” lined up. The beloved British cellist Alexander Baillie returns for a rare performance of the great Witold Lutoslawski’s Cello Concerto, a piece Baillie has made his own. More heroism arrives in the form of Richard Strauss’s autobiographical tone poem Ein Heldenleben (Strauss as his own hero), and Beethoven’s grand Leonore Overture No. 3. Come early and join the crowds for Zander’s pre-concert talks.

Beethoven's Leonore Overture No. 3; Lutosławski's Concerto for cello and orchestra, with Alexander Baillie; Strauss's Ein Heldenleben
