Midori

Nodoka Okisawa, a protégée of former BSO Music Director Seiji Ozawa, makes her Boston Symphony Orchestra debut with Takemitsu’s “Requiem for strings,” as well as Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony and Violin Concerto with soloist Midori.

In an encore broadcast, BSO Assistant Conductor Samy Rachid leads the orchestra for the first time in an all-Russian program that includes Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, with soloist Midori, and the blazing Symphony No. 5 by Tchaikovsky.

Orchestras, ensembles, and soloists from around the world create a vibrant tapestry of performances in the coming season from one of Boston’s most prominent concert presenters.

Israeli conductor Omer Meir Wellber leads the Boston Symphony in an exploration of Beethoven, through the composer’s own works and a world premiere by Ella Milch-Sheriff, and Midori is the soloist in Tchaikovsky’s beloved Violin Concerto.
