What's Interesting

The talents of CSO musicians are on full display in Bartók's Concerto, the epitome of an orchestra showpiece. Similarly, it’s “easy to see what all the fuss is about” (The Guardian) when guest soloist Esther Yoo performs Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Principal Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra Dalia Stasevska leads the program, beginning with inventive music that composer Missy Mazzoli says is “in the shape of a solar system."

What Critics Are Saying:

“Dalia Stasevska…came alive, shaping a performance of Sibelius’s Second Symphony that had me absolutely on the edge of my seat. The sheer urgency of the music, the way it has to struggle against its own tendency to disintegration and find a path to heroic affirmation has rarely seemed so thrilling.”
—The Telegraph

“And the virtuoso fireworks of the finale, which can trip up even the best violinists, caused her no trouble. It was altogether a wonderful performance which thrilled the audience, aware they were witnessing a star [Esther Yoo] in the making.”
—The Daily Telegraph

“Missy Mazzoli is the 21st century’s gatecrasher of new classical music.”
—NPR’s “Turning the Tables”
