Sibelius, Rachmaninoff and Ives
March 5-7, & 10


About The Music
BSO
BSO
American conductor Alan Gilbert, who becomes music director of the New York Philharmonic in 2009-10, leads English pianist Stephen Hough in Rachmaninoff's brilliant and poetic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Receiving a rare BSO performance is Charles Ives's epic Symphony No. 4, a work of great originality and a virtual autobiography of Ives's musical experience. Opening the program is Sibelius's short tone poem Night Ride and Sunrise (1908), not played by the BSO since 1918.

For this interactive module, we've assembled bits and pieces of Ives's own symphonic work so that you, too, can experiment with sound collage. Mix and match snippets into something completely original and new, then save the results so that you can sit back and share your 'found object' composition with others.
