Roz Zander was the former wife and lifelong partner in possibility of Ben Zander. For a forty-six year partnership, she was a guide, a companion in thought, a creator, and supporter of everything in Ben’s musical world.
Following her death in 2023, Ben and the Boston Philharmonic dedicated a concert to her. This Collection celebrates Roz Zander and provides online access to this special event. Included is Ben’s Dedication to Roz; the Boston Philharmonic’s emotion-driven performance; Ben’s pre-concert Guide to the Music, as well as the brief finale featuring Ben’s final words and deeply-felt performance of Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’. Also you can access the Concert Program and the Reviews of the performance.
This was a special concert celebrating the life of someone whose ‘spirit and vision guided the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra to new heights’. She is deeply missed by the orchestra and its supporters.
