Boston Globe readers will no doubt enjoy Jeremy Eichler's in-depth profile of composer Gyorgy Kurtag - The Purist - in today's Arts & Entertainment section (or, for Boston.com readers, at this link). The Berlin Philharmonic will play Kurtag's Stele as part of its November 19 program at Symphony Hall.
There is, however, one inaccuracy in the article's print version: the Berlin Philharmonic's Boston performance is NOT SOLD OUT as the article states. Tickets may be purchased in the following ways:
1. Online here (Symphony Hall web site) or
2. Here (Celebrity Series web site) or
3. By calling Celebrity Charge (617) 482-6661 (M-F 10-4) or
4. By calling SymphonyCharge (888) 266-1200 (M-Fri, 10am-7pm; Sat, 10am-6pm)
So, we do have Berlin Philharmonic seats available - very good seats, as a matter of fact.
UPDATE: Okay, so it's getting close to sold out, now. Don't delay!
FURTHER UPDATE: It did sell out, so no need to inquire about this one any longer. Anyone for Academy of St. Martin in the Fields?
Will Olaf Maninger, the principal cellist, be there?
