Sixty-seven years ago Walton's Cello Concerto premiered in Symphony Hall with the legendary cellist Gregor Piatigorsky. BPYO alum Leland Ko, recent first prize winner of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM) Competition, will bring it home again, with his richly lyrical tone and virtuosic flair. Maestro Zander says of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2, "It overflows with love. From its first notes, emotion-drenched themes well up in an unstoppable flood, all clothed in Rachmaninoff's most gorgeous orchestration." -Benjamin Zander Concert begins at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time U.S.) Video/Audio and venue: Symphony Hall, Boston Nothing compares to hearing the Orchestra play live, especially in the amazing acoustics of historic Symphony Hall, but if you can’t be there in person, then enjoying a high-quality digital livestream is the next best thing.

Verdi La Forza Del Destino: Overture Dvořák Symphony No. 9, op. 95, B. 178, E Minor "From the New World" Stravinsky Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) Opening this concert is the thrilling Overture to Verdi's La Forza del Destino, dramatically contrasting the constrictive-ness of Fate with the expansiveness of Love. One of the best-known and most beloved concert works, Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World") reflects the composer's visit to the American heartland, his love of American literature, and a profound reverence for Black spirituals. Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, which some consider to be the single most influential composition to be written in the entire 20th century, "changed everything," as Maestro Zander puts it. Its power to amaze, shock, and thrill has never waned." The concert will begin at 3:00 p.m. Video/Audio and venue: Symphony Hall, Boston Nothing compares to hearing the Orchestra play live, especially in the amazing acoustics of historic Symphony Hall, but if you can’t be there in person, then enjoying a high-quality digital livestream is the next best thing.

Britten Chacony in G minor Elgar Cello Concerto Alexander Baillie, cello Holst The Planets Radcliffe Choral Society Digital copy of the concert program: https://info.bostonphil.org/hubfs/FY25/BPO2%20Digital%20Program%20November%2017%2c%202024.pdf For the second Boston Philharmonic concert we present an all-British program to honor the land of Mr. Zander's birth. First, Purcell's Chacony in G Minor as realized by Benjamin Britten, who was an early mentor to the conductor and a significant guide to his musical development. British cellist Alexander Baillie, a quintessential, complete musician, returns yet again to Boston! Baillie's enveloping warmth and hugeness of spirit are exactly the qualities the Elgar Cello Concerto requires. With this performance, he returns for his EIGHTH concerto appearance with the BPO (he has played Dvořák, Dutilleux, Lutoslawski, Elgar, Bridge, Haydn C Major and Shostakovich First). And he doesn't just play the Elgar: he IS the Elgar Concerto, as you will hear and see. Concluding the program is Holst's The Planets, one of the most thrilling orchestral extravaganzas ever composed. It is a work that MUST be experienced live in the renowned acoustics of Symphony Hall. No recording has ever truly captured its sonic variety and magnificence. -Benjamin Zander The concert will begin at 3:00 p.m. and Maestro Benjamin Zander will have a pre-concert Guide to the Music at 1:45 p.m. which will be included in this live stream.

The work couples, in a way virtually unique to Brahms, extreme rigor with passionate expansiveness—qualities that Guy Braunstein, former concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic, demonstrated unforgettably in his performance of the Elgar Violin Concerto with us last season. Bartók's joyous and thrilling Concerto for Orchestra is a showcase for every section in the orchestra—a final, exultant affirmation of life by a dying composer whose spirit, even at the end, remained undimmed. -Benjamin Zander The concert will begin at 3:00 p.m. and Maestro Benjamin Zander will have a pre-concert Guide to the Music at 1:45 p.m. which will be included in this live stream.
