Boston Philharmonic Orchestra

Overview

The Boston Philharmonic’s vision radiates through the energy and passion of its players, under the distinguished and dynamic leadership of Benjamin Zander, and is manifest in the lively pre-concert talks when Mr. Zander unravels the meaning and shape of the music in the context of the composer’s era.

Joining the Orchestra in our Opening Night Concert is 12-year-old piano virtuoso, George Li, an already quite astonishingly celebrated young artist who won the World Piano Competition at age 9, followed by his debut with the Xiamin Philharmonic of China, and a performance at Carnegie Hall.
