Artist-in-Residence Sheku Kanneh-Mason joins conductor Elim Chan for the aching beauty of Elgar’s Cello Concerto. The Orchestra also performs selections from Prokofiev’s Cinderella — a harmonically rich, at times whimsical ballet not often heard in an orchestral setting — plus the New York Premiere of Noriko Koide’s Swaddling Silk and Gossamer Rain, with textures as delicate as the title suggests.
