Now in its 145th season, the Boston Symphony Orchestra continues to be one of the world’s leading ensembles, returning to Washington Performing Arts under the baton of renowned conductor Andris Nelsons for the first time since 2011. Joined by 15-year-old violin prodigy Himari, the symphony begins with Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto. Himari’s exceptional technique, imaginative interpretations, and “once-in-a-generation talent” shine, bringing out the composer’s radiant lyricism. Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 thrills with the BSO’s magnificent sonic power, performing a piece which the composer claimed “was born in me and clamoured for expression.”
