BOSTON, MA [February 18, 2025] – Boston Baroque’s founder and Music Director Martin Pearlman will take the podium for his final orchestral concerts, Beethoven & Mozart, on March 21 & 22, 2025, marking the culmination of his extraordinary 52-year tenure. A pioneering force in the early music movement, Pearlman leaves an indelible legacy as one of America’s foremost interpreters of Baroque and Classical repertoire, having led Boston Baroque to international acclaim through groundbreaking performances, numerous U.S. and European tours, and 26 celebrated recordings.
This historic concert pairs Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 and Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 (“Haffner”) with dazzling arias performed by Metropolitan Opera star Erin Morley in her highly anticipated debut with Boston Baroque.
