This Friday, we begin a multi-concert celebration of composer Martin Bresnick’s prolific, 60-plus-year career as he prepares for retirement. Here, Bresnick speaks with Yale Philharmonia principal conductor Peter Oundjian about how a Herman Melville poem inspired his “Pontoosuc,” featured on this week’s program. The concert also features Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 and Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2. Get tickets: https://music-tickets.yale.edu/978/27191
