    Sir Colin Davis returns for the second of his two subscription weeks to conduct music of a composer for whom he has a renowned affinity—Jean Sibelius. That composer’s late tone poem <i>Tapiola</i>, his last completed major work, was written in 1926 and evokes the stark mystery of the Finnish forest and its deity. The Symphony No. 3, is a three-movement work with a folk-like, pastoral touch. To close the program, American pianist Jonathan Biss is soloist in Beethoven’s epic Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor, the last and greatest of his concertos.
