  • Mao Fujita, in all red.
    Mao Fujita’s BSO Debut
    Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra welcome rising star Mao Fujita as the soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21, part of a program that also includes the U.S. premiere of Outi Tarkiainen’s “Day Night Day” and Sibelius’s rarely heard Symphony No. 1.
  • A collage of John Storgårds and Pekka Kuusisto. Storgårds (left) stands in a teal room and leans against a wall. He wears a black suit and black shirt. He has brown hair that fades to gray and gray stubble on his face. He looks at the camera with his dark brown eyes and smiles softly. Kuusisto (right) stands in a dark pink room holding his violin. He wears an oversized black t-shirt and round, clear glasses. He has short blond hair and stands with his eyes closed, listening to whatever he's plucking on his violin. The center of the collage blends the teal and dark pink in a way that mimics the northern lights.
