Japanese conductor Seiji Ozawa leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the Smetana Hall of the Municipal House in Prague, Czech Republic, on December 16, 1993.

Seiji Ozawa came on the music scene like a meteor, and soon established himself as a remarkable conductor who led the world’s best orchestras. In memory of his long and distinguished career, we’ll hear him interpret music by Rossini, Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, and Mahler.
