From an evening with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott to a spate of concerts from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the season is brimming with an impressive variety of classical events. Arts critic Lloyd Schwartz rounds up the performances he's looking forward to.

It’s spring! You want to be released from the prison of winter. So what better way to celebrate the arrival of good weather than to drive, bike, walk, or even take the T to your favorite concert venue? I already know what I’m most looking forward to. Here’s a selection of the season’s impressive variety of classical events to choose from for yourself.

And please don’t forget the terrific, often free programs at Boston’s numerous schools and conservatories, and keep your eyes peeled for other venues I may not yet know about myself.The BSO began 2024 with some impressive programs, especially two early 20th-century operas by Bartók and Shostakovich. This spring, there are BSO concerts almost every week through the beginning of May and whatever the repertoire, it’s thrilling to hear a great orchestra in one of the world’s acoustical wonders.

I have my reservations about Nelsons as an artist. And one of those issues is his repertoire. But at least that seems to be expanding. He ends the BSO season conducting another work that doesn’t get performed often enough but one for which the BSO has a history of outstanding performances: Hector Berlioz’s gorgeous “symphony” for vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra, “Roméo et Juliette” .
