Innovation and Legacy: An Anniversary Celebration with Bard Conservatory Orchestra

Bard Conservatory of Music marks our 20th anniversary with a landmark concert at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, honoring two historic milestones: the founding of the Conservatory in 2005 and Leon Botstein’s 50th year as President of Bard College. Come celebrate with us!

Conducted by Botstein and Bard Conservatory Dean Tan Dun, the evening features Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, with its timeless call for unity, paired with the North American premiere of Tan Dun’s Choral Concerto: Nine, a bold reimagining of Beethoven’s vision through a global lens.
