LineUp

Formed in 1881 by Henry Lee Higginson, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a prominent U.S. ensemble known for acclaimed recordings, its Boston Pops offshoot, and historic leadership by renowned conductors including Serge Koussevitzky, Charles Munch, and Andris Nelsons.
Grammy Award-winning conductor Andris Nelsons serves as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, he has won multiple Grammy Awards for his Shostakovich recordings and completed major symphonic cycles of Bruckner, Beethoven, and Strauss.
Ludwig van Beethoven, a German composer and pianist from Bonn, bridged the Classical and Romantic eras with his innovative, emotionally intense music. Renowned for works like the "Moonlight Sonata," Fifth Symphony, and Ninth Symphony, he revolutionized instrumental music, elevating it to high art. He continued composing despite profound deafness.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), born in Salzburg, Austria, was a classical child prodigy. He composed over 600 masterpieces across genres like opera, symphony, and chamber music. Known for his elegant, balanced style, his famous works include "The Marriage of Figaro," "Don Giovanni," "The Magic Flute," and Symphony No. 40. He is considered one of Western music's greatest composers.
Richard Strauss, born in Munich, Germany, was a leading late Romantic and early Modern German composer and conductor. Renowned for his tone poems, including "Also sprach Zarathustra", and operas like "Der Rosenkavalier", he mastered orchestral and vocal composition. Strauss collaborated notably with librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal. He was also a successful conductor of orchestras and director of opera houses.
Czech-born Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder is renowned for his mastery of core Austro-Germanic repertoire, particularly Beethoven, Brahms, and Haydn. A former child prodigy and Vienna Academy of Music student, he has released over 100 recordings, won an ECHO Klassik Award, and directed the Grafenegg Festival.
