Casual Friday: Andris Nelsons conducts Ravel and Stravinsky with Seong-Jin Cho, piano
Boston Symphony Orchestra
Symphony Hall, Boston, MA
Acclaimed South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho returns to Symphony Hall for Maurice Ravel’s Concerto in G, one of the composer’s final works, which ranges from jazzy energy to poignant lyricism. Igor Stravinsky’s 1911 ballet Petrushka, the second of his great trilogy for the Ballets Russes company, depicts the hapless living puppet title character in gloriously scored scenes from a carnival fair.
Post-Concert speakers: Suzanne Nelsen and Robert Sheena
