An Evening of Piano Concertos with Evgeny Kissin and Andrey Boreyko

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Andrey Boreyko, conductor
Evgeny Kissin, piano

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Russian Easter Festival Overture
SCRIABIN Piano Concerto
RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Piano Concerto
PROKOFIEV Piano Concerto No. 1

This exciting and unusual three-concerto program features acclaimed soloist Evgeny Kissin, known for his charismatic virtuosity. These three sparkling but rarely heard concertos span the late Romantic/early modern periods. The BSO has only played Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s concerto once in 1914, and Scriabin’s on only two prior occasions, most recently in 2001. Andrey Boreyko leads this all-Russian program, opening with Rimsky-Korsakov’s brilliantly colorful Russian Easter Overture.
