Symphony Hall

The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (BPYO), composed of musicians age 12-21 from the East Coast, performs their final concert of the 2023-24 season under the baton of Founder and Conductor Benjamin Zander. The program opens with Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto followed by Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 5, which will also be performed during the BPYO’s five-city European tour from June 15-25. The concert can be experienced both in-person and via livestream.
Schumann's soul-stirring Cello Concerto features the virtuosic talents of cellist Zlatomir Fung, the youngest cellist ever to win First Prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition. As Artist-in-Residence with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the 2023-24 season, Fung has appeared at London’s Cadogan Hall and is touring the UK with the orchestra. The 25-year-old has been hailed as one of the most promising young cellists of his generation: in describing his recital debut at Carnegie Hall in 2021, Bachtrack wrote "[He is] one of those rare musicians with a Midas touch: he quickly envelopes every score he plays in an almost palpable golden aura.” He last appeared with the BPYO in concert in 2022 as soloist on Elgar’s Cello Concerto and toured with the BPYO to Greece in June that year. The Westborough, MA native is a graduate of The Julliard School where he is also currently a faculty member.
Along with Dvořák’s and Elgar’s Cello Concertos, the Schumann is one of the great Romantic works for cello. “Schumann’s Cello Concerto requires an interpreter of the highest order,” says Zander. “Its moods are intimate, soulful, and confessional, almost like chamber music, and its three connected movements are like one long-drawn breath of lyricism that virtually cries out for Zlatomir’s subtlety and communicative power.”
Zander’s profound connection to Mahler's music has earned him significant recognition, including the very first Titan Award from the Mahler Society of New York. His passion for Mahler's compositions infuses every note with a profound sense of meaning and emotion.
Tickets are $75, $45, $20, and $10 for students with code STU-DIS. The live stream is $20 ($10 for students). Live and streaming subscription packages are also available.

Friends Meeting At Cambridge

J.S. Bach owed part of his creative inspiration to the 17th-century’s Stylus phantasticus, a method that sought freedom of form and expression, especially in instrumental works. This program explores several composers who embraced this approach. With a flourishing send-off in the finale of our 25th anniversary year, birds of a feather include Rosenmüller, Reincken, Westhoff, Schmelzer, Scheidt, and Bach, with his sparkling harpsichord concerto in E major.
With Christina Day Martinson, Megumi Stohs Lewis, violins; Jenny Stirling, viola; Jennifer Morsches, piccolo cello; Timothy Merton, cello; Maggie Cole, harpsichord.
Tickets: $25 GA $20 Seniors $10 Students and Under 35 Free for children under 18

They reunited some 29 years later for a December 2018 recording session that has resulted in their new release, “Wire and Bone.”
They are joined on the recording by guitarists <a href="https://kenwessel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kenny Wessel</a> and <a href="https://www.erichofbauer.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eric Hofbauer</a>. All six musicians will be appearing together at May’s <a href="https://dbryantmusic.com/third-thursdays/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“Third Thursdays”</a> concert.
Bryant notes, “I’m really thrilled to bring together these wonderful musicians with whom I’ve cemented strong relationships over many years: Jamaaladeen, a mentor from my earliest days studying with Ornette Coleman in the ‘80s; George, a favorite teacher and mentor at Berklee; Chris, a Berklee classmate and longtime bandmate in the Shock Exchange trio; Kenny, a close colleague in Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time; and Eric, a collaborator on several more recent projects and our Jazz Department Head at the Longy School of Music of Bard College. We have all worked together in many different configurations, and enjoyed great friendships. This should be a very special evening!”
