Nana Funk's Christmas Party

Everyman Theatre

Adapted for the stage by the Queen of Crime herself, this famous murder mystery masterfully weaves suspicion and intrigue to deliver a shocking tale of suspense. A mysterious host who knows everyone’s secrets lures ten strangers to a mansion on a secluded island. One by one, they start to disappear, eerily mirroring the deaths in an old 1600s nursery rhyme displayed in the house. With no way to escape and a killer among them, tension rises as they attempt to uncover the identity of the murderer before none are left to tell the tale.

Composer in Residence James Lee III peers through the open roof of a festive sukkah and beholds the even greater distance to Orion’s Nebula, a nursery for newborn stars in the constellation that has captivated humans for millennia.

Join our musicians as we continue this great tradition of musical friendships!

Approaching Mozart’s music with a presence that is “elegantly unruffled” (The New York Times), Conrad Tao illuminates the subtleties of his forebear’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20. For the young Polish composer Lutosławski, threads of local folk music and lessons from centuries past converge to make his Concerto for Orchestra an ear-tickling marvel of mid-century modernism. An interlude from Benjamin Britten’s breakthrough opera provides another angle of emotional mastery from a musician wise beyond his years.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

Maurice Ravel is lauded today as a titan of orchestration and composition, but his artistry was underappreciated during his lifetime. As we celebrate his 150th birthday, the BSO pays tribute to his status as a giant in the art of making orchestras sound glorious. Whether drawing inspiration from his mother’s native Spain or the elegance of a Viennese waltz, Ravel’s every gesture is a marvel of energy and aural delight. His mastery of symphonic orchestration has shaped everything in his wake, from the younger Russian admirer Prokofiev to the GRAMMY®-nominated Chinese American composer Zhou Tian.
