This evening, Monday Night at the Symphony features the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra which was founded in 1893. The program includes music by Antonín Dvořák, Sir William Walton, Frederick Delius, and more, conducted by José Serebrier, David Hickox, and Conductor Laureate Andrew Litton.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. Eastern. Tell your smart speaker to “Play The Classical Station.”

On November 13 we observe the birthdays of German composer Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow (1663-1712) and American composer George Whitfield Chadwick (1854-1931).

Herr Zachow was George Frederic Handel’s first teacher. Chadwick was one of a group of composers known as The Boston Six. The others in the group were Amy Beach, Arthur Foote, Edward MacDowell, John Knowles Paine, and Horatio Parker.
