Performer: Boston Symphony Orchestra

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of Symphony Hall, Andris Nelsons returns to the work that opened the venue on 15th October 1900.

Andris Nelsons celebrates Symphony Hall’s 125th anniversary with two works contemporaneous to the hall’s first season: Debussy’s Nocturnes and Mahler’s Symphony no. 4 (both premiered in 1901). 

The season-ending performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony loses its intended conductor but remains enjoyable, if somewhat under-rehearsed. 

In 2021, Samy Rachid left the Arod Quartet and won Second Prize in the Tokyo International Conducting Competition. Since then, his conducting career has taken off. Meet an artist with an astonishing career path.
