BSO’s Free Chamber Concert Is A Tease To Tanglewood Season
Poring over the 2015 Tanglewood season brochure is a pretty delicious activity, but it also leads to jonesing for the Boston Symphony Orchestra to get here already. You’ll have to wait until June for the entire orchestra to arrive, but a healthy contingent will be giving a (free) concert this Sunday at the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield.
The BSO Community Chamber Concerts were created to provide relevant and engaging free chamber music concerts performed by BSO musicians in communities limited in access to the BSO. We’re lucky enough to have the BSO as our neighbor during the summer, so for those of us in the Rural Intelligence region, these spring chamber concerts, going on their fifth year, are really more of a warmup (and tease) to the season that starts in little more than three months from now.
“The Community Chamber Concert in Pittsfield is special, in that it allows the BSO to continue to personally and musically connect with the Berkshires area community during the ‘non-Tanglewood’ season, ” says Jessica Schmidt, the BSO’s director of Education and Community Engagement.
On Sunday at 3 p.m., six members of the BSO will offer the Moazart Quintet in E-flat for horn and strings and the Brahms String Quartet No. 2 in A minor. The program will last approximately an hour and will be followed by a coffee and dessert reception for the audience and musicians.
Short, sweet, and a welcome harbinger that Tanglewood season is, indeed, on its way.
