Held at the Gilliam Concert Hall in the Murphy Fine Arts Center, the first Symphony in the City concert of the season is led by BSO Music Director Jonathon Heyward and features selections from Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, "Pastorale," known for its vivid depiction of nature and rural scenes. In conversation with Beethoven’s timeless work, the concert will also showcase compositions by James Lee III, whose works are infused with vibrant narratives and deep cultural resonance.
