Beethoven Symphony No. 9, Ode to Joy
Conductor Change
Regrettably, guest conductor Zubin Mehta has had to withdraw from this performance for personal reasons. He is especially saddened to miss his return to Tanglewood, where he has fond memories from his early days as a Conducting Fellow during the summer of 1958. We are grateful that former BSO Assistant Conductor Earl Lee is able to conduct on short notice. The repertoire will remain unchanged.
