High School Open Rehearsal: Brahms Symphony No. 2

Boston Symphony Orchestra Dima Slobodeniouk, conductor James Carter, Saxophone Tania LEÓN Time to Time (world premiere; BSO co-commission) Roberto SIERRA Concerto for Saxophones and Orchestra

Frequent guest conductor Dima Slobodeniouk leads this celebration of Caribbean composers, beginning with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Cuban American Tania León’s BSO-commissioned Time to Time, whose title reveals the composer’s characteristic preoccupation with duration and rhythm. Puerto Rico-born Roberto Sierra wrote his effervescent, jazz- and Latin-tinged concerto especially for James Carter’s lyricism and technical prowess on both soprano and tenor sax. Johannes Brahms’ Second Symphony is considered among his warmest, most pastoral works.
