BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OPEN REHEARSAL
The Boomers & Beyond Travel Club trip for January will be to the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Open Rehearsal of symphonies Nos. 4 & 5 (Beethoven & Romanticism), including a pre-concert lecture, on Thursday, January 16 . The lecture starts at 9:30 am, followed by the concert at 10:30 am. Andris Nelsons is the conductor. Beethoven composed his Fourth and Fifth symphonies almost concurrently, but they’re very different in their expressive impact. The Fourth is one of Beethoven’s warmest, most congenial works, sharing that mood with the Violin Concerto completed just after the symphony. The Fifth Symphony, by contrast, creates wonderful intensity through the famous four-note “fate” motif—perhaps the most famous musical fragment of all time—and resolves that tension in a triumphant finale. Raffle winners for this trip will be drawn on Thursday, January 2 and attendees will be notified then. The $20 payment will be due by the following Thursday, January 9.
Please register for the raffle at 617-730-2770.
