Take a walk with the BSO! 

This concert will show our appreciation and thanks for nature’s bounty with two well-known and beloved works that celebrate the outdoors. 

• Envision the rolling hills and fields of the harvest with music from the ballet repertoire through American composer Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring. 
• Settle in for another view of the beauty of nature in all its peace and ferocity with the legendary “Pastoral” Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven. 
  • In his Sixth Symphony in F Major, Beethoven explores good feelings, calm, and the outright fear of a mighty storm in the five movements that make up this expression of love for the outdoors that sustained his soul during some of his darkest personal moments.

Returning patrons please note the start time is 2 p.m. 

• Adult $19 | Senior $16 | Student Free | Premium Seats $25
