    Phoenix is a breath of fresh air in the Boston music scene, Weilerstein will take them to a new level. Looking forward to their concerts.

      By “breath of fresh air” do you mean the new skinny Maestro conducting the same old Beethoven while smiling as opposed to the previous plump Maestro conducting it with a face that conveyed quiet introspection?
      Because that’s about all the fresh air most concertgoers are going to notice.

    Why is the Phoenix Orchestra moving to Boston? Too much sun in Arizona?
