I received the programs for the Boston Symphony 2006-2007 season today,
and took the opportunity to count overtures. It turns out that just two
overtures are scheduled:
John Harbison's Darkbloom Overture- oddly enough repeated from
this season.
Rimsky Korsakov: Russian Easter Overture
It seems that overtures must go on the endangered musical forms list -
soon to found only on milk cartons.
