A babbling brook, a country dance, a musical rainstorm ... Nothing says summer like hearing Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony in the outdoor beauty of Blossom Music Center. Conductor Jonathon Heyward leads this symphonic favorite in the annual side-by-side concert with the Kent Blossom Chamber Orchestra. Also on the program is Anna Clyne’s mystical Glasslands — featuring the outstanding saxophonist Jess Gillam — and Dvořák’s Carnival Overture, which opens the evening with a burst of symphonic energy.
