The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra's (BPYO) final concert of the 2024-25 season opens with Debussy's Prelude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to an afernoon of a faun), one of the most intricate and demanding pieces in the orchestral repertoire. Cellist Leland Ko, first prize winner of the 2023 L'orchestre symphonique de Montreal Competition and former BPYO first cellist at age 14), who is now 25, follows as the soloist on Walton's Cello Concerto, which cellist Gregor Piatigorsky commissioned and premiered in Boston. The concert concludes with Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2, which Conductor Benjamin Zander says “has deep romantic themes, overflowing with love.”
