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.
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.
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.
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.
