Moser, making his TSO debut under the baton of Music Director , will perform the French composer鈥檚 concerto that he wrote in 1970 for cello great Mstislav Rostropovich. The five-movement work, inspired by the poetry of Charles Baudelaire, is largely considered one of the most important 20th-century additions to the cello repertoire.
