Our next Friends of BSO event will be Honegger's Pastorale d'ete, Saint-Saens' Piano Concerto No. 2, and Stravinsky's Petrushka (1947).

"Italian conductor Fabio Luisi and acclaimed 21-year-old French pianist Lise de la Salle collaborate in their BSO debuts, performing Saint-Saens' elegantly virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2 with the orchestra. The Swiss-French composer Arthur Honegger's 1920 Pastorale d'ete ("Summer Pastoral") is as lyrical and warm as its title suggests. Stravinsky's Petrushka, a ballet about a living puppet, composed for the Ballets Russes in 1911, helped cement Stravinsky's reputation as the most important and exciting young composer in the world. "

As usual, there will be a catered dinner in 2-290 at 6pm. Because of our growing numbers, we ask that you kindly RSVP using the link below for the dinner by Saturday, October 7, so we can obtain a reasonable headcount. And guests, as always, are welcome!
