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 earned multiple Grammy Awards for his Shostakovich recordings.
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.
Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15, was composed in 1795 and revised in 1800. Although it was the second mature piano concerto he completed, it was the first to be published. The piece expands upon the Classical concerto models of Mozart and Haydn, introducing Beethoven's signature bold harmonic shifts, dramatic dynamics, and high-energy virtuosity across three distinct movements.
An acclaimed English classical pianist internationally regarded as one of the leading musicians of his generation, celebrated for his outstanding interpretations of the classical and romantic piano repertoire, particularly Beethoven and Schubert.
