Boston Symphony Orchestra with Prokofiev, Bernstein, and more

Founded in 1881, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, supported by banker Henry Lee Higginson, is a pillar of U.S. orchestral culture. Its legendary recordings, especially on RCA Victor, benefit from Boston's Symphony Hall acoustics. Known for premieres of works by Stravinsky and Bartók, it has been led by conductors Monteux, Koussevitsky, and Ozawa. It also has ties with Tanglewood Music Festival and contributed to film scores like Spielberg's "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" with John Williams.

Renowned for Russian music, she has played with top orchestras globally, is known for chic stage fashion, and has collaborated with cellist Gautier Capuçon. Wang frequently releases albums on Deutsche Grammophon.
