Fall Classical Music Guide

Few cities the size of Boston offer quite as much classical music. From the free to the pricey, from the intimate to the grandiose, no one in a 10-mile radius of Back Bay can complain about our range of offerings. Here’s a list of the most notable events on the classical calendar from just after Labor Day through just before Christmas. I make no claim that this is an “objective” list, and I don’t personally recommend all of them. But all the events I know of are here to which my own prejudices and predilections encourage me to anticipate with pleasure.
And if these musical events aren’t enough, please don’t forget to check listings of concerts — especially free concerts, student concerts, and faculty recitals — offered at the various schools and conservatories. There’s no shortage of great music in this part of the world.
