What begins as suspense will give way to a feeling of being fully alive. Silvestre Revueltas: Sensemayá Antonín Dvořák: Cello Concerto Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 Marking his 10th season with the NBSO, Yaniv returns to his audition piece that got him the job—Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.4. Opening with the “fate” motif, the eternal ballet composer’s most original symphony consists of numerous surprises, like an entire movement of just string plucking, cymbals and bass drum only in the last movement (making so much noise) and an unhinged piccolo solo, to name just a few. Sydney Lee returns to the NBSO to perform Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, the Mount Everest of the cello repertoire. We open our season with Revueltas’ stirring Sensemayá, or as Yaniv likes to call it: “the Latin version of The Rite of Spring in seven minutes.” Goosby Plays Brahms Saturday, November 21,7:30 PM The Zeiterion Let beauty and restlessness collide in a rush of rhythm and emotion. Feel deeply, leave renewed. Gabriela Ortiz: Kauyumari Samuel Barber: Symphony No. 1 Johannes Brahms: Violin Concerto Rising star violinist Randall Goosby performs Brahms’ Violin Concerto, a piece of unmatched beauty, drama, and, of course, some Hungarian dancing. It is paired with music from the Americas—the intoxicating rhythms and sounds of Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz, alongside Samuel Barber’s First Symphony, a tragic, poignant, and restless piece, written in one sweeping movement.

Movie Pops: All John Williams Saturday, February 20, 7:30 PM The Zeiterion‍ Because sometimes, what you need most… is to be transported. Yaniv Dinur, conductor and emcee This all-John Williams program surrounds you with music that has shaped generations, not just as sound tracks, but as emotional touchstones. Hearing these iconic themes vividly brought to life by a full symphony orchestra is an incredibly powerful experience. From the awe of Jurassic Park to the suspense of Jaws, the magic of Harry Potter, an the soaring hope of E.T., each piece opens a door back to imagination, nostalgia, and joy. After intermission, the journey continues with the adventure and heart of Hook and Indiana Jones, the quiet beauty of The Terminal, and the powerful, unmistakable themes of Star Wars. Requiem for a Dream Saturday, March 20, 7:30PM The Zeiterion‍ Honor the past and feel it unfold before your ears. The beauty, intensity, and transformation will leave you changed in ways you didn’t expect. Alexander Korsantia, piano Ludwig van Beethoven:Piano Concerto No. 4 Guillaume Connesson: Flammenschrift Maurice Ravel: Mother Goose Commemorating the 200thAnniversary of Beethoven’s death, beloved pianist Alexander Korsantia returns to the NBSO to perform Beethoven’s Fourth—perhaps the most perfect piano concerto in the repertoire. Beethoven was a fervent advocate for the ideals of the French Revolution, and in that spirit, the second half of this concert is all French. And while Beethoven’s piece is the epitome of 19th-century Viennese music, Ravel’s La valse represents its unravelling, a magnificent farewell letter to the Viennese Waltz and to a world that would never be the same after the First World War. Connesson’s brilliant depiction of Beethoven the man will make the orchestra sound like you’ve never heard it before. Cuppa Tea Saturday, April 17, 7:30PM The Zeiterion Be carried through memory, melody, and quiet longing, as nostalgia deepens into something tender and true,leaving you feeling gently restored.
