American
conductor Roderick Cox, makes his BSO debut leading BSO Principal
Clarinet William Hudgins in Mozart’s beloved Clarinet Concerto. One of
the composer’s last major works, it was written for his clarinetist
friend Anton Stadler, perhaps the greatest master of the instrument of
his time. Felix Mendelssohn’s always fresh Symphony No. 3, Scottish,
was inspired by a long trip to the British Isles in his early twenties,
but it wasn’t until more than a decade later that he finally completed
this dramatic but classically balanced symphony.
Regrettably,
Ton Koopman has had to withdraw from his upcoming appearances with the
orchestra due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. We are thankful that the
American conductor Roderick Cox, making his BSO debut, was available at
short notice to lead the orchestra in these concerts. Please note that
Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, Scottish, replaces Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2.
