The Miracle Blake Pouliot Plays Mendelssohn Kenneth Woods Conducts
Symphony No. 96 is popularly called the Miracle Symphony because it is said that, during its premiere, a chandelier crashed to the floor from the ceiling of the concert hall. The audience managed to dodge the chandelier, thus the nickname. Read more about the program on the event page.
