NEC: Williams Hall | Directions

290 Huntington Ave.
Boston, MA
United States

A collaboration between the Boston Symphony Orchestra and New England Conservatory, “What I Hear” is a series of free hour-long events meant to introduce audiences to composers working with the BSO. These composer-curated chamber music programs feature performances by NEC students and include conversations between the composers and BSO Assistant Artistic Administrator Eric Valliere.

For the second of this season's three "What I Hear" events, distinguished Scottish composer Helen Grime curates a program of chamber music in connection with the BSO's performance of her 2019 commission Limina later that evening. New England Conservatory musicians perform her works Bright Travelers for soprano and piano, Three Whistler Miniatures for piano trio, plus Marti Epstein’s Boutonniere and Oliver Knussen’s Ophelia’s Last Dance
