Only the few will seek the exclusivity that comes with owning an Audemars Piguet.

Wellington Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts are funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Symphony Hall On display in the first-floor Huntington Avenue corridor of the Cohen Wing is an archival exhibit celebrating the 90th anniversary of Symphony Hall. In addition to newspaper accounts of the building's opening in 1900, the exhibit includes period photographs and a tribute to acoustician Wallace Clement Sabine. Articles on various aspects of Symphony Hall will be featured in the BSO program book throughout the season. The cover photograph shows the cartouche directly above the Symphony Hall stage. Whereas numerous European halls traditionally highlighted various composers' names, Beethoven became the only composer whose name was inscribed on any of the plaques that trim the stage and balconies of Symphony Hall. The others were left empty since, at the time the Hall was opened, it was felt that only Beethoven's popularity would remain unchanged. :•;. ••'.
