BSO Artistic Partner Thomas Adès’ riotous 2019 Concerto for Piano and Orchestra
receives that rarest of gifts: a second outing. Kirill Gerstein, its dedicatee, is back as
the soloist – and also plays Ravel’s Concerto in D for the left hand. Framing the
keyboard pieces are Alban Berg’s sumptuous Three Pieces and Ravel’s technicolor La
Valse.

Harry Christophers conducts Haydn and Mozart
Presented by Handel & Haydn Society
January 28 at 7:30 p.m. and January 30 at 3 p.m.
Symphony Hall, Boston

Harry Christophers final season as H&H music director continues with a program that
pairs Haydn’s Symphony no. 103 and Theresienmesse with Mozart’s exuberant Violin
Concerto no. 1. H&H concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky is the soloist in the latter.
