Daniil Trifonov performs the Brahms First Piano Concerto with Andris Nelsons and the BSO
Hilary Scott
Opening Night at Tanglewood, with Trifonov and the BSO

Michael Sherman
"Shimmer," with Radius Ensemble
Jonathan Cohen conducts the orchestra on stage at Symphony Hall from the harpsichord. He leans over the harpsichord with his arm outstretched towards the musicians, locking eyes with the chorus that's out of frame and smiling knowlingly.
The Story of the Exodus, through Handel's Music, from H+H
On WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, buzzing flies, raging fire, and parting seas come to life in Handel's "Israel in Egypt," performed by the H+H chorus and period-instrument orchestra, all led by Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen.
