Artiste: John Oliver

Andris Nelsons and Boston Symphony Orchestra concludes their three concert series at Carnegie Hall with works by two Russian composers. 

I took my nephew, a vocal arts student, to see Bach's Passion According to St. John partially so he could experience Boston Symphony and partially to introduce him to choral music – which is some of my favorite. I hadn't been to Symphony Hall since my childhood and was glad to see nothing had changed. One has the sense that generations have passed through the hall in a continuous flow.
