About

Experience the light and lyrical side of the BSO as Principal Oboe Katherine Needleman delights with Martinü’s rarely performed Oboe Concerto. Mendelssohn’s "Scottish" Symphony captures the charm of Scotland, while Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances brings vibrant folk tunes to life.

  • A chance to hear BSO musicians in the spotlight as Principal Oboe Katherine Needleman gives a rare rendition of Bohuslav Martinü's stunning Oboe Concerto.
  • Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3, "Scottish," was primarily inspired by a visit to the Holyrood Palace's chapel in Edinburgh, where Mary, Queen of Scots, was coronated.
  • Béla Bartók based his Romanian Folk Dances on several folk tunes from Transylvania, evoking fiddle and shepherd's flute.
