Harvard will have its first chance to see Charles Munch, new conductor of the Boston Symphony, when the orchestra opens its six-concert Sanders Theater series at 8:30 tonight.
The concert marks the orchestra's 68th season in Cambridge. Students can pick up special rush tickets by going to the comptroller's office in Lehman Hall before 3 p.m. Sales yesterday were heavy.
The next concert in the Cambridge series will occur on Tuesday, November 29.
Five Selections
Tonight the orchestra will be hard in two French compositions, one German, and one American. The program includes Rahaud's La Procession Nocturne, a Symphonic Poem after Lenau: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony; Piston's Second Suite for Orchestra; and Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, Ballet Suite Number Two.
Charle Munch took over as conductor of the Orchestra this fall. His first concert took plact in Symphony Hall on October 7. Before coming to Boston to relieve Serge Koussevitzky as conductor, he led the Orchestra Nationale de France.
