LineUp

Boston Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1881, is a leading U.S. symphonic ensemble. Known for 20th-century RCA Victor recordings and for Koussevitsky’s premieres of Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, plus Tanglewood.
Grammy Award-winning conductor Andris Nelsons serves as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, he has won multiple Grammy Awards for his Shostakovich recordings and completed major symphonic cycles of Bruckner, Beethoven, and Strauss.
Born in Paris in 1955, renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma broke out with his 1983 recording of Bach cello suites. Known for his technical virtuosity and diverse collaborations crossing classical, folk, and jazz genres, he founded the multicultural Silk Road Ensemble and has earned numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), a Russian composer from St. Petersburg, is celebrated for his 15 symphonies and chamber music. His classical style features sharp contrasts, grotesque elements, and deep emotional intensity. Renowned works include Symphony No. 5 and the "Leningrad" Symphony. He navigated a complex relationship with the Soviet regime, establishing a powerful legacy as a 20th-century master.
Igor Stravinsky, the Russian-born titan of 20th-century music, revolutionized classical sound with his bold rhythms and innovative harmonies. His iconic ballets "The Firebird," "Petrushka," and the riot-inducing "The Rite of Spring," created for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, remain cornerstones of modernism. He also explored neoclassicism and serialism.
