Dvořák Symphony No. 8 and Cello Concerto with Pablo Ferrández
Boston Symphony Orchestra Samy Rachid, conductor Pablo Ferrández, cello DVOŘÁK Cello Concerto       intermission DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 8 

Award-winning Spanish cellist Pablo Ferrández returns to Symphony Hall to perform one of the most beloved works in the cello repertoire. Written while the composer was living and teaching in the U.S., Dvořák’s Cello Concerto weaves a virtuosic solo line into a rich orchestral tapestry that both pays tribute to and draws inspiration from his Bohemian homeland. The Eighth Symphony is a similarly folk-inspired work, warm and full of charm. Filled with folk dance rhythms and unexpected harmonic shifts, it captures the composer’s deep connection to his home.
