The third and final Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra concert of the season, continuing its tradition of presenting thrilling performances of orchestral masterpieces and bringing exciting soloists to Boston audiences.
The program includes:
Schumann Cello Concerto
Zlatomir Fung, cello
Mahler Symphony No. 5
According to Zander:
"We will end the season with Mahler’s transcendent Fifth Symphony, the quintessential journey from darkness to light, which puts an orchestra at the limit of expression. What an undertaking for a group of young musicians at the beginning of their musical journey!
We are thrilled that Zlatomir Fung is available to return as a soloist. His rapturous playing of the Elgar concerto and his all-embracing personality endeared him to every member of the orchestra, as well as the audiences throughout our tour of Greece in 2022. We cannot wait to join him in Symphony Hall for Schumann’s Cello Concerto, his final major orchestral work, written before his early death in an asylum. Its moods are intimate, soulful, and confessional, almost like chamber music, and its three connected movements are like one long-drawn breath of lyricism that virtually cries out for Zlatomir’s subtlety and communicative power."
