"What I Hear" - Roberto Sierra

For this season’s only "What I Hear" event, award-winning composer Roberto Sierra curates a program of chamber music in connection with the BSO's American-premiere performance of his Sinfonia No. 6 later that evening. New England Conservatory musicians perform his works including Bongo-O, Piezas Liricas, Estudio de ejecución transcendental No. 1, Eros, and Estudios Ritmicos y Sonoros No.12, along with music by Xenakis, Messiaen, and Liszt. BSO Artistic Administrator Eric Valliere moderates a conversation with the composer.
