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