Summary: Music Director Alan Gilbert launches the 2010–11 season — the Orchestra's 169th — and talks about the Opening Night concert and programming the new season. Elliott Forrest explores the jazzy sounds of Wynton Marsalis's Symphony No. 3, Swing Symphony, which receives its U.S. Premiere on this concert — as well as the romantic adventures of R. Strauss's tone poem Don Juan, and Hindemith's exuberant and ever-popular Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes by Carl Maria von Weber.
