This Week at the BSO

The Baltimore Symphony showcases the cultural beauty of Japan with the second of three concerts in the season’s AAPI Festival.


Thursday, March 7

STRATHMORE
Doors Open at 6:30 PM
Concert at 8 PM

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4

Since winning the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition while still a student at the Juilliard School, cellist Zlatomir Fung has vaulted into the elite ranks of international soloists, cultivating “a rich, warm tone, impeccable intonation and thoughtful phrasing” (The Baltimore Sun) that he calls upon in the unusually fluid and sensitive First Cello Concerto by Saint-Saëns. Conductor Ken-David Masur returns with Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony—a poignant meditation on fate—along with a touching tribute by the dean of living Japanese composers.

 

 

The BSO’s AAPI Festival is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts
