NSKY

Who better than Beethoven,
whose music opened the BSO’s
first-ever concert in 1916, to
begin our second century?
A humanist who strongly
believed in the principles of
the Enlightenment, he was
also an innovator who
forever changed classical
music. His values of
reason, tolerance and
equality are just as
relevant today, two
centuries later.
