RACHMANINOFF Symphonic Dances
Popular Dutch duo-pianists Lucas and Arthur Jussen return to Symphony Hall for a BSO-commissioned world premiere. This music was written especially for them by American composer Andrew Norman, winner of the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for his orchestral work Play. Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite brings the composer’s mastery of orchestral color to his fairy-tale suite, originally written for piano, four-hands. Closing the program is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s tour-de-force for orchestra, by turns powerfully energetic and meltingly lyrical: his Symphonic Dances, the composer’s final work.
We will travel to Boston, departing from Lebanon at 8:15 AM. We will arrive in Boston about two hours before the performance begins at 1:30 PM, leaving time for you to explore on your own! We will leave Boston immediately after the performance, returning to Lebanon around 6:30 PM.
