Longwood Symphony: Transfiguration (with Longwood Chorus)

Longwood Chorus joins the LSO for a powerful exploration of the human experience through Brahms’ Song of Destiny and the rich, lyrical finale of Beethoven’s only oratorio. The program also includes Death and Transfiguration, an evocative orchestral tone poem by Richard Strauss, and celebrated recent works by contemporary composers Dai Wei and Nina Shekhar. Jotaro Nakano conducts.

The Longwood Symphony is the orchestra of Boston’s medical, healthcare, and research community. We are not professional musicians; most of our players are physicians, nurses, researchers, physical therapists, psychologists, and medical/dental students who love playing orchestra music and the camaraderie of performing together. Our players represent most of the major medical institutions in the greater Boston area and beyond.
