BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Since classical music is such a great stress-reliever, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is offering everyone in isolation the chance to tune in for a free concert online, starting this afternoon.
The BSO's "Concert for Our City" was videotaped live during a full-house performance at Symphony Hall on February 16. It was part of a series of free concerts the orchestra played that month during the time it would have been on an East Asia tour, which was canceled due to COVID-19.
According to the BSO website, the concert will be available to stream starting 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 5th through May 20th. The lineup involves songs by several composers, including Tchaikovsky, Ginastera, Dvorak, and Brahms.
"During these challenging times of social distancing and sickness due to COVID-19, I hope that the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Concert for Our City YouTube stream and the many wonderful offerings at bso.org/athome will bring some comfort and inspiration to music lovers in Boston, throughout the country, and around the world," said Thomas Wilkins, BSO Artistic Advisor for Education and Community Engagement.
