ASO celebrates its Golden Jubilee with a concert of its “greatest hits,” starting with the first piece the orchestra ever played, Stokowski’s arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner. You’ll also hear Mahler’s massive 8th Symphony, which received great acclaim at the 2002 Bard Music Festival, and Ives’ 4th, which the ASO debuted at Carnegie Hall in 1965.

Maestro Leon Botstein shares the stories behind the music in a lively 30-minute Conductor’s Notes Q&A at 7 PM in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage. Free for all ticket holders.
