  • On WCRB In Concert with Radius Ensemble, hear Radius perform Schubert's atmospheric, harmonically rich Octet in F major and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's rustic Quintet for clarinet and strings in F# minor.
  • BSO Conductor Thomas Wilkins leads the Boston premiere of "Good News Mass," a new co-commission by Composer Chair Carlos Simon, and David Lang leads The Crossing in his "poor hymnal."
  • On The Bach Hour, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson brings a spirit of collaborative creation to the composer's Aria and Variations in the Italian Manner, and Christoph Spering leads the Cantata No. 14.
What makes an opera performance great? GBH Music partnered with Boston Lyric Opera, New England Conservatory of Music, and legendary opera singers Patricia Racette, Susan Graham, and Davóne Tines to explore an extraordinary art form.
