ELGAR CELLO CONCERTO
The brilliant Armenian cellist and Tchaikovsky International Competition winner Narek Hakhnazaryan wowed our audiences last October, and we’ re thrilled for his return performing Elgar’ s beautiful and elegiac Cello Concerto. Led by BSO Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh, this program also features Debussy’ s Rondes de printemps from Images and Prokofiev’ s Sixth Symphony, reminiscent of the composer’ s romantic ballet music.
