A champion of contemporary composers, a renovator of orchestral halls, and a conductor numbered among one of the most important of her generation: tonight’s program features recordings of Simone Young leading the New York Philharmonic. International sensation Sheku Kanneh-Mason joins as soloist for Dvorak’s cello concerto in B minor, as well as a new piece by Larissa Lakner.
