Boston Symphony Orchestra music director Andris Nelsons will take on a new title in 2014: Nobel Prize concert conductor.

Nelsons, 35, will conduct the concert in Stockholm, which honors this year’s Nobel Laureates.

The concert will also feature soprano Kristine Opolais and trumpet player Hakan Hardenberger. Opolais and Nelsons are both natives of Latvia, and Hardenberger hails from Sweden.

Nelsons became the BSO’s music director in 2013, the orchestra’s 15th in 132 years, and is the youngest director of the BSO in over a century.
