LineUp

Boston Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1881, is a leading U.S. symphonic ensemble. Known for 20th-century RCA Victor recordings and for Koussevitsky’s premieres of Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, plus Tanglewood.
Andris Nelsons is Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. A Grammy-winning conductor, he recorded Shostakovich symphonies and Lady Macbeth, earning four Grammys.
Born in Lowestoft, England, Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) was a towering 20th-century composer, conductor, and pianist. Renowned for revolutionizing British opera, his emotive style blended classical traditions with diverse influences. Celebrated works include the operas "Peter Grimes" and "War Requiem," alongside "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra."
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), a Russian composer from St. Petersburg, is celebrated for his 15 symphonies and chamber music. His classical style features sharp contrasts, grotesque elements, and deep emotional intensity. Renowned works include Symphony No. 5 and the "Leningrad" Symphony. He navigated a complex relationship with the Soviet regime, establishing a powerful legacy as a 20th-century master.
