4. 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.

9. Beethoven Missa Solemnis | Boston, Symphony Hall, & the BSO in 1900
Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis stands tall among the greatest sacred choral works, a monumental setting of the Mass text and the first piece performed in the then-new Symphony Hall in 1900. From soaring solo lines to striking contrasts — like the prayerful Agnus Dei interrupted by martial fanfares — Beethoven’s vision combines dramatic orchestration, virtuosic choral writing, and profound emotional depth.
