Saturday evening’s concert is in memory of Dr. Lawrence H. Cohn.

South Korean pianist Yunchan Lim — the youngest person ever to win the gold medal in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition — joins returning guest conductor Tugan Sokhiev to perform one of the greatest, most popular, and most virtuosic works in the repertoire: Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3, which the composer himself played with the BSO in 1919 and 1935. Sokhiev also leads a rare gem of a piece: French composer Ernest Chausson’s passionate one and only symphony. The Symphony in B-flat (1890) was a favorite of former BSO Music Director Charles Munch, and the BSO last performed it in 1993.

The Friday Preview on February 16 will be given by Robert Kirzinger, BSO Director of Program Publications. The talk will begin at 12:15pm, and admission included with concert ticket.

Thursday's concert will end around 9:15pm, Friday's concert will end around 3:13pm, Saturday's performance will end around 9:45pm, and Sunday's concert will end around 3:45pm.
