Beethoven Symphony No. 6, Pastoral and Augustin Hadelich performs Adès
Boston Symphony Orchestra Thomas Adès, conductor Augustin Hadelich, violin Thomas ADÈS Aquifer  Thomas ADÈS Violin Concerto, Concentric Paths, Op. 23       intermission BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 6, Pastoral 

2025-26 BSO artist in residence Augustin Hadelich performs longtime BSO collaborator Thomas Adès’ kaleidoscopic violin concerto Concentric Paths with the composer conducting. The recent orchestra work Aquifer joins other Adès works in depicting the dynamism of the natural world, here referencing geological structures that store and release water. The piece reflects the static, flowing, and surging properties of water. As with love and spirituality, artists throughout history have responded to nature through their art. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, Pastoral, is the composer’s joyous response to a day spent in the countryside.
