Andris Nelsons conducts Prokofiev

The BSO welcomes young violin sensation Himari in her Symphony Hall debut, as she brings her once-in-a-generation talent and imaginative interpretations to Sergei Prokofiev’s lyrical Violin Concerto No. 2. Paired with Prokofiev’s popular Fifth Symphony, these two works share longtime associations with the orchestra: Former Music Director Serge Koussevitzky and the BSO gave the first American performances of the concerto in 1937 and the symphony in 1945.
