Boston Conservatory Orchestra Presents Telling the Story at Symphony Hall on October 27

Boston Conservatory at Berklee’s fall Center Stage season concludes with an uplifting matinée of beloved orchestral works at Boston’s historic Symphony Hall. Boston Conservatory Orchestra: Telling the Story will take place on Sunday, October 27 at 3:00 p.m. 

Under the direction of conductor and professor Bruce Hangen, Boston Conservatory Orchestra will perform a program celebrating the art of vivid storytelling through music. The cinematic and colorful repertoire will feature Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, about a storytelling sultana who saves her own life by recounting a thousand and one tales; the orchestral suite from Richard Strauss’s comic opera Der Rosenkavalier (Cavalier of the Rose), which begins its action-packed story with a ceremonial silver rose; and contemporary composer Quinn Mason’s fun and festive “Toast of Town” Overture.

“Boston Conservatory Orchestra: Telling the Story is a truly special concert in one of the most outstanding concert halls in the world,” said Hangen. “This program is a powerful and moving experience, featuring several beloved pieces of classical music. I am thrilled to present such incredible works alongside the Boston Conservatory Orchestra, featuring the best of the next generation of classical musicians, at Symphony Hall.” 

Boston Conservatory Orchestra: Telling the Story will take place at Symphony Hall, located at 301 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 27. Tickets are $17 for regular seating and $12 for seniors, alumni, and non-Berklee students. Berklee students, faculty, and staff can claim two complimentary tickets in person at the Symphony Hall Box Office by presenting their Berklee ID.
