The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (BPYO), under the direction of Conductor Benjamin Zander, concludes its 10th anniversary season with a benefit concert at Symphony Hall to support families of children with disabilities and those in contact zones in Ukraine. A hundred percent of the gross proceeds from ticket sales will support the Bright Kids Charity’s No Child Forgotten Fund which assists some of Ukraine's most vulnerable children suffering from Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
The evening’s program includes Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring New England Conservatory piano faculty member Alexander Korsantia as soloist, and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, Pathétique. The concert will also be available for viewing via live streaming; a recorded version can also be accessed after the concert.
