BSO Presents Dvorak Symphony No. 8

Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann leads the BSO in Edvard Grieg’s First Suite from Peer Gynt, featuring the hypnotic “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” Another piece rich in folk flavor is Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony with its nostalgic portrait of the Czech countryside and rollicking dances. Haydn wrote his Sinfonia Concertante in B-flat Major as a charming showpiece for an unusual combination of solo instruments — violin, cello, oboe, and bassoon. Bright in spirit and full of wit, this work will show off the solo skills of four of the BSO’s talented musicians.
