Juanjo Mena, conductor

Dvorák: Cello Concerto Yo-Yo Ma, cello

Bartók: The Wooden Prince

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, masterful in any repertoire, performs the powerful Cello Concerto by Antonín Dvořák, a piece the Czech composer began during his sojourn in the United States in the mid-1890s. Making his subscription series debut leading Ma and the orchestra in this program is Spanish conductor Juanjo Mena, who led works of Berg, Strauss, and Mahler in his BSO debut at Tanglewood in July 2010. He also conducts a rarity, Bartók's score to the folk-tale ballet The Wooden Prince, one of the composer's three great, orchestrally thrilling stage works from the 1910s.
