Marin Alsop opens the season with Beethoven’s "Eroica" Symphony, a work
that changed the course of music history. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer
Joseph Schwantner wrote his New Morning for the World for orchestra
and narrator, capturing some of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s most eloquent
words. Pianist Garrick Ohlsson returns to play Rachmaninoff’s scintillating
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Back by popular demand, Marin Alsop leads the BSO and

such well-known hits as “Summertime” and “It Ain’t
Necessarily So,” Gershwin’s jazzy folk opera endures as an
American classic since its 1935 premiere.
