Dvorák’s “Cello Concerto” is brought to life by a rising young star at the opening concert of the BSO’s 127th season.
What’s Interesting About This Concert
- Cellist Ifetayo Ali-Landing came to fame via her own TedX Talk and NPR Tiny Desk Concert after winning the 2017 Sphinx Competition’s Junior Division
- Composer Nancy Galbraith’s use of percussion in her piece “Fantasy for Orchestra” from 2003 is explosive, persistent, and highly energetic
- In addition to being one of the most important composers of the 20th century, Hungarian Béla Bartok was a pioneer in documenting his country’s folk music, which infuses his “Dance Suite”
