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.
Andris Nelsons is Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. A Grammy-winning conductor, he recorded Shostakovich symphonies and Lady Macbeth, earning four Grammys.
Felix Mendelssohn, a German Romantic composer born in Hamburg, was a child prodigy known for his lyrical melodies and elegant orchestration. He blended Classical forms with Romantic expression, creating popular works like the "Wedding March," Violin Concerto, and Italian Symphony. Mendelssohn also revived Bach's music and founded the Leipzig Conservatory.
Violinist Randall Mitsuo Goosby won First Prize at the Sphinx Concerto Competition in 2010 at age 13. He has soloed with the New York Philharmonic and Cleveland Orchestra, and given recitals at the Kennedy Center and Wigmore Hall.
Max Karl August Bruch was a German Romantic composer, conductor, and teacher who wrote more than 200 works. He is best remembered for his virtuoso Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26, which has become a staple of the classical violin repertoire, as well as other enduring pieces like the Scottish Fantasy for violin and orchestra and Kol Nidrei for cello and orchestra.
