Part of TŌN’s Fisher Center concert series
Leon Botstein leads TŌN in a concert of music spanning over 200 years, with four 20th-century works presented alongside a brief symphony from 1776. The program begins with Ulysses Kay’s Chariots, based on the spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, and Lou Harrison’s whimsical orchestration of John Cage’s Suite for Toy Piano. Then we explore three symphonies of different styles: Stravinsky’s expressive Symphony in C; C. P. E. Bach’s adventurous Symphony in D Major, and one of Albert Roussel’s most beloved works, the vivacious Third Symphony, written for the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1930.
These concerts will also be livestreamed on TŌNtube.

The concert will last approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including one 20-minute intermission.
