Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music presents the Boston University Symphony Orchestra led by conductor Sarah Ioannides. This event is free and open to the public. Coleridge Taylor: The Bamboula, featuring 2027 Concerto Competition Winner (to be announced)Dvořák: Symphony No.8 This program brings together two works that celebrate vibrant musical traditions and expressive color. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s The Bamboula draws on the rhythms and spirit of African American musical traditions, creating a lively and richly textured orchestral work filled with energy and character. We save a spot here for one of our CFA 2026-27 Concerto Competition winners. Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 offers a joyful and deeply lyrical celebration of nature and folk-inspired melodies, moving from its warm, pastoral opening through moments of drama and tenderness to its spirited and triumphant finale.
