Today we bring you an Interpretations of Music: Lessons for Life Class on Schubert's song "[Gretchen am Spinnrade](https://info.bostonphil.org/e2t/tc/VXc2TQ1FGZk2W1LXQ6n56yzs0W2NZxg54s7w22N4gTlK13p_8SV1-WJV7Cg-9SW4MqMfN1byGRWW40Fm-S5bSsMVW1vTqdg1l4dYBW4Gnylp8JlDBbW9k2ZZQ7Vgwt6W62w9NZ6bYtX8W1-WcQK1yprBhVB_jHl2R9TnBW8XqS_v7z4-WQW4Z8-sw6-jqV2W7y9T0z7DvBp2W56T22w6cx4wHW2kX_d02wCsYcV8vsDg1vXrSKW2pPymY2D3S3TW7qQ5rf3QlHT-W4qT6NW2jRrK5W8FtDgh7G7h-kV4phnZ3RY67NW7p90yy6ZBnr9W2DN6_c8hV9HXW1Xlt_N2Pxrp7315v1)," performed by soprano Angela Ruiz with pianist Dina Vainshtein.

Maestro Zander coaches: "You have to get deep into the feeling...The more you get it, the more [the audience will] get it...That's our job, to be so powerfully aligned with the message of the piece that we take everyone with us...For the audience, you're providing an experience they've never had before...It's about how you can broaden their experience of life."

 

 

We also bring you a Boston Philharmonic Orchestra performance of [Beethoven's Coriolan Overture](https://info.bostonphil.org/e2t/tc/VXc2TQ1FGZk2W1LXQ6n56yzs0W2NZxg54s7w22N4gTlKD3p_9rV1-WJV7CgN-KW2xWQXn1HGv2vN7P7hDxlwp0kW52lKt18dt3v0W1_92gY7xHhkkW8ZNh0H53fhvYW7BgdW22YjrfLW97mrvg4q935vW1ttBJ51RPqCvW5RV1QR5Xv7PJW12fFJv6g3h9wW6dfW0F62F3wwVwVygn3sfXcbW8CQvM62F1r4qW2vKSQr5rZJ6NN860JTcQ9mngN8sG-y3x_d_YW5r1vZt8nk4c-W2kqQbv5XMDRLW4pWngp1fDc5-W67d-vJ1_55PPW7mPTBP8SWm-MW8swNkk1v2LBTV8kDvw93nt1yN31Fwxw5JznrVWcJ7S61ZVvsW5yp4p_91RY6s3p5P1), complete with [Maestro Zander's pre-concert talk](https://info.bostonphil.org/e2t/tc/VXc2TQ1FGZk2W1LXQ6n56yzs0W2NZxg54s7w22N4gTlK13p_8SV1-WJV7CgT9NW7dHhss3th80zW6CY3091D68_lW2Nn0Lx1jW3bfW5zVDS82JD4qMN6w1JWBgVfPCW7tF3-J51dMMkW62s5P45dVGxBVhdW1x2jFBbNW72--NZ8QJWlyW4HX7MP8Tln2JW6q7QWw67sWF1W8T95Vk6vGthMW3HrLRD1r00jjN3sWP5ts4fPvW3y5Svj1D0XxRW28T8Xr7KNMWPW5hv9lv2wvTlZW2BrjHy1c5SlNW9kb1cL4PsdxnW6GYWh65SS6GWW4xWhRX9h62mjW5V8bBd49nBlc3hN71).
