WAMU rebroadcasts Nelsons-led BSO all‑Beethoven concert with pianist Yefim Bronfman

WAMU is airing an encore broadcast of a Boston Symphony Orchestra program featuring works by Ludwig van Beethoven, led by conductor Andris Nelsons with pianist Yefim Bronfman as soloist. The rebroadcast, presented on WAMU — Washington’s NPR station, gives DC-area listeners access to a recent BSO performance.

The original performance was delivered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Nelsons’s direction, with Bronfman as the featured piano soloist. The program was focused exclusively on Beethoven’s works; WAMU’s post framed the rebroadcast as a special encore for its classical music audience. WAMU carries a mix of locally produced and syndicated programming; this broadcast is part of its classical music offerings that serve Washington listeners.

Andris Nelsons is the BSO’s music director and a frequent guest on national and international radio broadcasts; Yefim Bronfman is an internationally recognized pianist with a long history of concerto appearances. WAMU’s decision to rebroadcast the concert allows listeners without tickets or access to the live event to hear a full orchestral program from a major American orchestra.
