WGBH to broadcast BSO's Elliott Carter premiere live

 James Levine, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and pianist Daniel Barenboim will premiere Elliott Carter's "Interventions" on Dec. 5 in an afternoon (1-4 p.m.) program at Symphony Hall. And, wonder of wonders, WGBH will broadcast the concert live on 89.7 FM and online at wgbh.org/classical/. The announcement:

On Friday, December 5, WGBH Radio presents the world premiere--and only broadcast--of renowned composer Elliott Carter's Interventions, live from Symphony Hall in Boston. Carter, considered one of the world's greatest living composers, has extraordinarily composed Interventions in celebration of his own 100th birthday on December 11, 2008. The broadcast can be heard from 1-4pm live in New England on WGBH 89.7 and worldwide on All-Classical WGBH, online at wgbh.org/classical.

Carter will appear at Symphony Hall for the historic concert. "To have a composer taking a bow at his own centennial concert is truly an event, but for Elliott Carter to write a piece for the occasion, is a gesture unprecedented in the history of music," says WGBH Radio classical producer Brian Bell.

BSO Music director James Levine leads the BSO with pianist Daniel Barenboim in Carter's composition and a program that also includes Barenboim and Levine as partners in Schubert's Fantasie in F minor for piano four-hands, Beethoven's forceful Piano Concerto No. 3, and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

Listeners are invited to tune in from 1-4pm on select Friday afternoons as WGBH Radio broadcasts the Boston Symphony Orchestra live from Symphony Hall with host Ron Della Chiesa. Details about upcoming broadcasts can be found at wgbh.org/classical.

Alcoholism always fabricates this illusion that everything is decent in the life of the one affected by it. But the fact that they don’t examine it does not mean the situation is not significantly inadequate. The people that are friends with the alcoholic should have a plan. They have created intervention to make it effortless for the individuals that are friendly to the alcohol dependent person. It is significantly good to have a lot of people practicing the intervention. It’s a necessity that the addict not know before about the intervention. The intervention continually makes the alcoholic look at what his addiction does to him and everyone around. The whole point of doing an intervention is to have the person struggling with an alcohol dependency enter a rehabilitation program. That is why it’s more evident if the people have searched for rehab treatments that would be appropriate the person. Because an addicted person can be very unstable, you should be ready to send the person struggling with an alcohol dependency right away when he feels that he needs help. An intervention is a utterly helpful tool for the people that suffer from being in an addict’s environment.
