Boston Symphony Orchestra

The Boston Symphony Orchestra, one of the world’s preeminent ensembles now in its 145th season, returns to the Washington Performing Arts stage at Strathmore for the first time since 2011 under the baton of Music Director Andris Nelsons. The program features the extraordinary 15-year-old violin prodigy Himari, whose “once-in-a-generation talent” brings radiant lyricism to Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto. The evening concludes with Prokofiev’s monumental Symphony No. 5, a work the composer described as “born in me and clamoured for expression,” performed with the BSO’s magnificent sonic power.
