One imagines many in Boston’s musical public watching the ascent of violinist Stefan Jackiw with particular pleasure, as Jackiw grew up locally and launched his career while attending Roxbury Latin School and later Harvard University and the New England Conservatory.

Jackiw, who now lives in New York with a busy international career, made a welcome return this weekend to perform with Benjamin Zander and the Boston Philharmonic. Zander and Jackiw also go way back together, having collaborated in concerts on at least three continents. For their reunion on Saturday night in Jordan Hall, the agenda was Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto.
