This evening we can hear a rebroadcast of the Tanglewood concert of Sunday, August 8, 2021, which saw the conductor's debut with the BSO and a new piece (not a world premiere, though). IT also included two pieces by Tchaikovsky, with Yo-Yo Ma soloing in one. WCRB gives specifics:

8:00 PMIn an encore broadcast from the 2021 Tanglewood season, the American conductor makes her Boston Symphony Orchestra debut in a program featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma in Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme, plus a work by Missy Mazzoli, Saturday at 8pm.

TCHAIKOVSKY Variations on a Rococo Theme, for cello and orchestra
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 4
I posted about it at the time. In my post, I referenced the BSO's program note on their performance detail page. Try as I might, I can't get to the note via the link in my post. It seems the BSO as decided to make material from last summer's Tanglewood season inaccessible to the public.
At the time, I thought the Mazzoli piece was okay — decent background music for the dinner hour. The Boston Musical Intelligencer has a favorable review of the concert, as does the Boston Globe.
So this should be an enjoyable evening.
