Xian Zhang wears a navy suit and stands in profile with her arms folded. She looks down and laughs, twisting a piece of her short hair between her fingers. Jonathan Biss wears a gray sweater and black-rimmed glasses. He holds his hands like he's mid-clap, and he looks at the camera with a soft smile.

Xian Zhang makes her Symphony Hall debut leading a work she premiered with the New Jersey Symphony in June 2023: Pulitzer Prize-winning Chinese-born composer Chen Yi’s Landscape Impression. Then, Jonathan Biss is the soloist in Robert Schumann’s lyrical and powerful Piano Concerto, and the program closes with Mozart’s elegant Symphony No. 39.
