You Can Still Join Us On Friday This year, for the first time, the BSO offers new subscription options for the Friday- afternoon series. You can now purchase a Friday subscription with as few as five or six concerts. Featuring Music Director Seiji Ozawa and Principal Guest Conductor Sir Colin Davis, with such leading soloists as pianist Maurizio Pollini, violinist Isaac Stern, and soprano Hildegard Behrens, and with music by Brahms, Mozart, and Berlioz, these new options are an excellent introduction to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. If you enjoyed your Fall series or wish to join us now, two series are still available beginning in January: Friday Spring "5" or Friday Spring "6." For program information and seating availability, please call the Symphony Hall Subscription Office at (617) 266-1492. With Thanks We wish to give special thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities for their continued support of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. 5 Symphony Tin Now Available with No Calories! The Junior Council is pleased to announce a dieter's delight for the holiday season. Their newest item, the Symphony Tin, will be available for sale at the BSO Gift Shop empty as well as full. This colorful, decorative box—a perfect replica of Symphony Hall made exclusively in England for the BSO— is ordinarily sold with 36 Symphony Mints inside for $18. But during the holiday season, it will be available without the Mints for $6.50. Either way, the Symphony Tin makes an outstanding personal or corporate holiday gift. Sale of the Symphony Mint, Bark, and Tin is a project of the Junior Council to benefit the Boston Symphony Orchestra; the project is now in its fourth season. The Symphony Mint is an exclusive formulation of dark sweet chocolate laced with creme de menthe. The Symphony Bark is a miniature bar of dark, rich chocolate stuffed with whole toasted almonds. Both are embossed with the BSO colophon and are individually wrapped in gold foil. These products are made expressly for the BSO by Harbor Sweets of Marblehead. The Symphony Mint is available in the following quantities: Tasters, 3 pieces at $2.00; Hostess Box, 12 pieces at $6.00; Gift Box, 30 pieces at $12; and the filled Symphony Tin, 36 pieces at $18.00. Symphony Bark Tasters offer 2 pieces for $3.00; a Hostess Box of the Symphony Bark includes 8 pieces for $10.00. All of these items are available at the Junior Council table in the Massachusetts Avenue corridor of Symphony Hall near the elevator, and the larger items are available at the BSO Gift Shop, open during November and December.
