Cool things to check out:
The Berlin Philharmonic has some free concerts in their Digital Concert Hall!
Check out one of the best Symphonies in the world!
https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/home
Some of my favorite pieces if you search by Composer under the "Concert" Tab are:
1. Mussorgsky, Modest = Pictures at an Exhibition
2. Mahler, Gustav = Symphony #1 - All, but especially movement III - See if you can hear the tune "Frere Jacques" but in a minor key
3. Mahler, Gustav = Symphony #2 - All, but especially movement I - Count how many upright basses are playing!
4. Mendelssohn, Felix = Midsummer's Night Dream - Overture
5. Berlioz, Hector = Symphonie Fantastique - movement V
6. Dvorak, Antonin = New World Symphony - All of it! Seriously, it sounds like movie music but if you only listen to part - try mvt II
7. Grieg, Edvard = Peer Gynt Suite - I bet you will recognize parts of all movements - especially Movement IV
8. Dukas, Paul = The Sorcerer's Apprentice
9. Ravel, Maurice = Bolero - Its a one movement, 15 minute piece. Listen for the repetition, how does the composer keep it from becoming tedious?
10. Bizet, George = Carmen: Excerpts - Found in the Dec 31 2018 New Years Concert conducted by Daniel Barenboim
You don't have to listen to the whole concert, if you scroll beneath the video you can click on the piece you want to listen to; and on the video the yellow markers show the different movements if you want to listen to only a specific one. Movements are usually written in roman numerals.
The New York Philharmonic Another amazing ensemble to check out!

The Metropolitan Opera sometimes streams Opera's for FREE!
