6. BSO Opening Gala
The BSO opens its season with a tribute to some of the great American composers, past and present. The pulse-pounding energy of John Adams takes us for a Short Ride in a Fast Machine. Jessie Montgomery’s arrangement of I Want to Go Home and Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 both reflect on memory, history, and longing. John Williams’ "Escapades" from the Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can evokes an air of cool mischievousness with its dynamic interplay of saxophone, vibraphone, and bass. The jazzy swagger of Gershwin’s famous An American in Paris finishes the evening.

Symphony No. 41, Jupiter, Mozart's last symphony, represents the pinnacle of Classical-era symphonic writing, with luminous orchestration and bright tunefulness that are so classically Mozart. Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben is a bold, autobiographical tone poem, weaving together six stories while echoing themes from his greatest works.
