LineUp

Formed in 1881 by Henry Lee Higginson, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a prominent U.S. ensemble known for acclaimed recordings, its Boston Pops offshoot, and historic leadership by renowned conductors including Serge Koussevitzky, Charles Munch, and Andris Nelsons.
Sergei Prokofiev, a Russian composer born in 1891, forged a distinctive, often percussive and lyrical style in classical music. He is celebrated for masterpieces like the ballets "Romeo and Juliet" and "Cinderella," the children's tale "Peter and the Wolf," and powerful piano concertos. His unique voice, blending modern harmonies with classical structure, profoundly shaped 20th-century music.
Leonard Bernstein, born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, was an iconic American conductor, composer, and educator. He seamlessly blended classical, jazz, and Broadway styles. Celebrated for "West Side Story," "Candide," and his symphonies, he garnered 16 Grammys, 7 Emmys, and 2 Tonys. As New York Philharmonic's first American-born music director, he championed music education and collaborated notably with Jerome Robbins.
Aaron Copland was an American composer, composition teacher, writer, and conductor who was referred to by his peers and critics as the "Dean of American Music." Known for creating a distinctly American sound by incorporating jazz and folk elements, his most famous works include the ballets Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Rodeo, as well as Fanfare for the Common Man.
Born in Beijing in 1987, acclaimed pianist Yuja Wang studied at the Curtis Institute and rose to international prominence through major orchestra debuts and best-selling Deutsche Grammophon recordings. Known for her virtuoso Russian repertoire and global performances, she frequently collaborates with major orchestras and artists.
