Andris Nelsons conducts Beethoven Symphony No. 7
Andris Nelsons leads the BSO and frequent collaborator Kirill Gerstein in the U.S. premiere of a new concerto by the Spanish composer Francisco Coll. Co-commissioned by the BSO with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the concerto was premiered by Gerstein and the orchestra under Simon Rattle’s direction in spring 2026. Coll’s music is performed by the major orchestras of Europe. A one-time protégé of composer Thomas Adès, he composes music of great energy and sonic imagination. Works of Beethoven begin and end the program: his dramatic Coriolan Overture and the Seventh Symphony, a universal favorite bursting with lyricism and exuberance.
