Brahms and Dvorak were professional contemporaries and friends who regularly invited one another&rsquo\;s reflections of their work. Written in 1883\, on the heels of some of his greatest works that included two concertos\, Brahms&rsquo\; \;Symphony No. 3 in F major\, Opus 90 \;contains some of the most beautiful symphonic melodies he wrote. A decade later\, \;Dvorak&rsquo\;s Cello Concerto in B \;minor\, Op. 104\, B. 191 \;defied the common perception of the time that the cello wasn&rsquo\;t suitable for the concerto format. Even the composer himself seemed dubious\, asking his friend Brahms for feedback on his work. But the results were undeniable&mdash\;the concerto is packed with melodic invention and beauty. The PSO is honored to welcome Boston Symphony Orchestra cellist Roric Cunningham as the featured soloist for Dvorak&rsquo\;s \;Cello Concerto\, the first movement of which Cunningham first performed on The Music Hall stage as the 2017 winner of the PSO&rsquo\;s Young Artist Competition.
