Costa Rican conductor and frequent BSO guest Giancarlo Guerrero returns to lead soloist Johannes Moser in the first BSO performances since 1997 of English composer William Walton’s Cello Concerto, which Gregor Piatigorsky premiered with the orchestra in 1957 under Charles Munch.

Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu and the BSO are joined by the young Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho, 2015 winner of the prestigious International Chopin Piano Competition. In his BSO debut, he performs Prokofiev’s difficult but sparkling Piano Concerto No. 2.

Experience the Boston Symphony, Boston Pops, and Tanglewood—the summer home of the BSO in the Berkshires—while you make new friends. The receptions take place in private rooms in Symphony Hall or on the Tanglewood grounds.
