Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

  • Clockwise from left: Dima Slobodeniouk, Simon Bode, Avery Amereau, Morris Robinson, and Erin Morley
    Mozart’s Requiem with Dima Slobodeniouk and the BSO
    Saturday, March 29th, 2025 at 8:00pm, the Boston Symphony Orchestra performs Mozart’s stunning final work with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus and a collection of sensational soloists.
  • The perspective of this photo is from the risers on stage. You see what the H+H Chorus members see: other singers surround you with black binders full of sheet music, Harry Christophers conducts you from an otherwise empty stage, and a sea of audience members stretch back into the darkness of Symphony Hall. This concert appears to be completely sold out.
    Hildegard, Aleotti, Haydn, and Mozart, with H+H
    Sunday, March 23rd at 7:00pm, on WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, mystically beautiful works by Hildegard von Bingen and Raffaela Aleotti are framed by Haydn's Symphony No. 49 and Mozart's "Coronation" Mass.
  • Singers Duke Kim, Lucy Crowe, Brandon
    Requiems by Haydn and Mozart, with the Handel and Haydn Society
    Sunday, January 12th at 7:00pm, on WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen conducts music that channels the grief and consolation of the Requiem text through the compositional voices of two Classical masters.
  • Renée Fleming smiles and stands against a golden background in profile. She's wearing a coat that mimics the one in Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss." Rod Gilfry stands outside in front of an ivy covered wall. He stands behind a lavender bush in a white button up and looks pensively off camera.
    Fleming and Gilfry in “The Brightness of Light,” with the BSO
    Saturday, January 4th, 2024 at 8:00pm, Andris Nelsons leads the Boston Symphony in “The Brightness of Light,” by Kevin Puts, with soprano Renée Fleming and baritone Rod Gilfry, as well as two works by Mozart.
  • Jan Lisiecki looks off to the upper left corner of the frame. He has short, curly brown hair and bright blue eyes. He leans against stone wall, casting a long, blue shadow.
    Lisiecki, Jordan, and Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique”
    Jan Lisiecki is the soloist in Mozart’s mysterious and stormy Piano Concerto No. 20, and conductor Philippe Jordan leads the BSO in Tchaikovsky’s emotionally harrowing Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique.”
  • Mitridate stands in a three-piece pinstripe suit in front of a wall decorated with stone busts. The wall is flooded in a wash of bright fuschia light, and there's white spray paint across the walls and the busts.
    Boston Lyric Opera's "Mitridate"
    On WCRB In Concert with BLO, passions and rivalries collide in this production of Mozart’s rarely performed Mitridate, re di Ponto, with a cast anchored by tenor Lawrence Brownlee, sopranos Brenda Rae and Vanessa Goikoetxea, and countertenor John Holiday.
  • Xian Zhang wears a navy suit and stands in profile with her arms folded. She looks down and laughs, twisting a piece of her short hair between her fingers. Jonathan Biss wears a gray sweater and black-rimmed glasses. He holds his hands like he's mid-clap, and he looks at the camera with a soft smile.
    Conductor Xian Zhang, the BSO, and Pianist Jonathan Biss
    Zhang makes her Symphony Hall debut leading Chen Yi’s “Landscape Impression” and Mozart’s Symphony No. 39, and Jonathan Biss is the soloist in Robert Schumann’s lyrical and powerful Piano Concerto, on demand.
  • Hilary Hahn plays violin at GBH Studios.
    Hilary Hahn, the BSO, and Brahms
    In an encore broadcast, Hahn returns to Symphony Hall as the soloist in Brahms’s Violin Concerto, and Andris Nelsons conducts Mozart’s Symphony No. 33 and Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s "Archora," inspired by the primordial energy of her Icelandic homeland.
  • Elena Villalón wears a black dress that hangs on one shoulder. Her dark hair tumbles down that shoulder. She has a beauty mark on her cheek and she stares down the camera, softly smiling. James Gaffigan wears a white, collared shirt and wears his brown hair slicked back. He has blue eyes and a beard, and he gazes at the camera wistfully.
    Villalón, Gaffigan, and the BSO at Tanglewood
    Conductor James Gaffigan makes his Boston Symphony debut in a program that includes arias from Mozart’s “Idomeneo” and “The Marriage of Figaro” and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, with soprano Elena Villalón, as well as Anna Clyne’s “Sound and Fury,” on demand.
