Open Rehearsal: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with Seong-Jin Cho and Bernstein Chichester Psalms | E Pluribus Unum: From Many, One

Open Rehearsal: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with Seong-Jin Cho and Bernstein Chichester Psalms | E Pluribus Unum: From Many, One
Boston Symphony Orchestra Seong-Jin Cho, piano Lorna McGhee, flute Tanglewood Festival Chorus Jean-Sébastien Vallée, guest choral conductor Allison LOGGINS-HULL Rhapsody on a Theme by Joni, for flute and orchestra (BSO co-commission) BERNSTEIN Chichester Psalms  TCHAIKOVSKY Piano Concerto No. 1 

Continuing our E Pluribus Unum: From Many, One celebration, the BSO’s principal flute, Lorna McGhee, makes her solo debut with the orchestra in American composer Allison Loggins-Hull’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Joni, an ebullient tribute to the phenomenal Canadian American singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Leonard Bernstein wrote Chichester Psalms for a choral festival in Sussex, England, blending Christian and Hebrew traditions in one of his most accessible and life-affirming works.

What gives with Tchaikovsky on an E Pluribus Unum: From Many, One program? And why include Tchaikovsky on an E Pluribus Unum program? Boston—a few years before the BSO was founded— hosted the world premiere in 1875 of a work that is now one of the most popular of all concertos.
