Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in Boston, MA. Happening on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at Church of the Covenant. Doors open at 3:00 PM.

An orchestra concert about freedom: the first known symphony by a woman, two pieces by our friends, and Brahms’s Third Symphony!

“The caged bird sings of freedom.”

The Horizon Ensemble celebrates the music of freedom as October’s winds start to rush upon us. Join us on Sunday, October 6 at 3:00 PM at the Church of the Covenant in Back Bay for liberating, exciting orchestral tunes!

We’ll begin with the first surviving symphony by a woman: the Symphony in C Major by Marianna Martines, a Viennese composer and pianist who was friends with Mozart and Haydn. Next are two pieces by friends: Shaheed by Andrés Ballesteros, a string orchestra piece inspired by the Arab Spring; and Laleh-zar (Tulip Field) by Sepehr Pirasteh, drawing from the Iranian symbolism of tulips as representing love and sacrifice. We’ll finish with Johannes Brahms, who wrote his Symphony No. 3 in F Major around his personal motto: “free but happy”.

This is a pay-what-you-can concert, with a suggested donation of $20. We will collect donations in person at the concert, or you can find us on Venmo at @HorizonEnsemble.

This event is wheelchair accessible. No bright or flashing lights are allowed at this event. Please register with your name and e-mail address. If you can’t make it in person, there will be a YouTube livestream.
