Did
you know that one of the most acclaimed conductors of the past century, Arturo
Toscanini, conducted a concert at Music Hall in 1943? On the program was Robert
Schumann’s Manfred Overture, Johannes
Brahms’ Symphony #2, music from Richard Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde, and more.
The
Music Hall celebratory concerts wrap up next weekend with the ensemble for whom
the hall was originally built – the May Festival Chorus. They will collaborate
with the CSO in a program including Bach’s Magnificat,
Brahms’ Triumphlied, and a world
premiere by Julia Adolphe. Concerts are Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm.
