We have two videos from the 2016-17 Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra season to share with you this week.

The first is a performance of the third movement of [**Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzj_yYKfy6U&utm_campaign=General&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8JYtrS1A8VRbQQW1rL7abEkq20GUSK6pXaNZD7nvCg9tvq5wf72nofX90mgXqJ2bd7psTf), featuring cellist **Aihao Zheng**, who was an undergraduate at the time, and one of the winners of BPYO's concerto competition. 

The second is a performance of [**Sibelius's Finlandia**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5JLAQTbYZo&utm_campaign=General&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8JYtrS1A8VRbQQW1rL7abEkq20GUSK6pXaNZD7nvCg9tvq5wf72nofX90mgXqJ2bd7psTf), which opened the BPYO season that year. This was our first collaboration with Music:Eyes, and the graphics that were projected above the orchestra were created by a team of BPYO members and staff. If you have seen our more recent collaboration with Music:Eyes, you may notice that this first venture was a little more rudimentary!

We send our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones this weekend.
