The Miles Electric Band, formed in 2010, was brought to life by Emmy- and Grammy-winning producer and drummer Vince Wilburn Jr., Miles’s nephew, with the aim ...

At this concert, the BFO will take us on a musical journey along the Rhine, both to its banks – in the form of Schumann’s symphony inspired by some pleasant experiences there – and its depths, with a scene from Wagner.
The former commemorates a peaceful riverside excursion to the Rhine, and the latter is one of the most famous excerpts from the monumental opera tetralogy The Ring of the ...

- 18 Feb 2026 1:00 PM
- classical
Silver Bear-winning filmmaker Dénes Nagy spent four years following György Kurtág’s everyday life with his camera. The resulting documentary, produced between 2021 and 2025, far exceeds the conventional boundaries of the genre.
The poetic imagery brings to life memories of childhood in the 1930s, the dilemmas of loneliness in old age, fundamental questions of creativity and teaching, as well ...

Spanish conductor Jaime Martín, whose “infectious enjoyment of the music,” according to The Telegraph, “communicates to the orchestra and audience alike,” will return to helm the BFO through Saint-Saëns’s most popular violin concerto and what Tchaikovsky considered to be his own finest symphonic work.
This concert merits an earworm alert, as both composers are famous for their catchy ...

Jazz, opera, Broadway musicals: Morgan James is at home in all three. Her amazing voice, enthralling personality and striking on-stage presence were enough to convince Scott Bradlee to invite her to appear in Postmodern Jukebox videos and tour with the band from 2014.
She dedicated her first album, recorded in New York’s Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, to Nina Simone. In 2016, she covered the entire ...
