About this Event

Join Boston Landmarks Orchestra for the first installment of From The Podium Talks featuring Music Director Christopher Wilkins.

Long before Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony came knocking, the sinfonia was a modest introduction to operas and theatrical evenings. But over time, it grew into a vehicle for the grandest visions of instrumental music. Join the Maestro on a listening tour to hear how this transformation took shape, culminating in Beethoven’s nine symphonies—works that forever altered the symphonic landscape.

The talk will begin at 7:00 with a reception to follow.
