(Canceled) Andris Nelsons conducts Prokofiev, Nabors, and Holst featuring Daniil Trifonov, piano, and the Women of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus

BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons leads the orchestra in the first of three wideranging January programs. Phenomenal Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov is soloist in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1, an early work that contains the breathtaking virtuosity and sardonic wit of the composer’s mature style. Alabama-born composer Brian Raphael Nabors grew up with jazz and gospel music, the flavors of which season his dynamic, optimistic orchestral score Pulse. The astrological, mystical influence of the heavens, from peaceful Venus through warlike Mars, was Gustav Holst’s inspiration for The Planets.
