Conductor Benjamin Zander brings his passionate musicmaking to the Philharmonia with a program including the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra and the Dvorak Cello Concerto with student soloist Tony Rymer.

Selected through the Conservatory's annual concerto competition, Tony Rymer '11, has performed major concerti to critical acclaim with the Atlanta Symphony, Boston Pops, Cleveland Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, and Pittsburgh Symphony, among others. He was the First Prize Winner of the 2009 Sphinx Competition Senior Division and took 3rd place in the 2009 Stulberg International String Competition.

A native of Boston, he began playing cello at age five, attended the Walnut Hill Arts School, was a Project STEP scholarship student from 1996-2007, and was awarded the prestigious Kravitz scholarship in 2007. One of the first recipients of the Jack Kent Cooke Award on the NPR national radio show From the Top, he has also been heard as soloist on WGBH Boston, WCLV Cleveland, and NPR's Performance Today. An avid chamber musician, Tony has collaborated in concert with artists such as violinists Ani Kavafian, Miriam Fried, Itzhak Perlman, oboist Peggy Pearson, violist Barbara Westphal, and cellist Paul Katz.

Tony studies with Paul Katz and is the recipient of the Laurence Lesser Presidential Scholarship.
