Boston Landmarks Orchestra opening performance of 2017.

Join us for music under the stars on the banks of the Charles.

'Knoxville: Summer of 1915,' Samuel Barber's setting of of a prose poem by James Agee, evokes sweetly nostalgic childhood memories of summer.

Elgar created his 'Enigma Variations' as a musical gift for his wife and closets friends.

With exuberance, humor, and warmth, he presents a separate variation- akin to a musical portrait- for each of them.

Boston composer Petty Stuart Coolidge composed 'The Blue Planet' to accompany poem written by her husband.

In 1971, the World Wildlife Fund adopted it as their official theme song.

(Rain date, July 20 at Hatch Shell or Emmanuel Church).
