Boston Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall
Fenway, Boston, United States
An evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra lets the city’s cultural tradition become something immediate and absorbing. Symphony Hall’s celebrated acoustics and richly detailed interior are part of the experience, but the programme should lead the choice of night. Pick music that intrigues you and give the concert the evening it deserves. This is an especially rewarding counterpoint to days spent walking neighbourhoods and museums, with the pleasure coming from attentive listening rather than sightseeing.
