The 24-year-old -- born in Senegal -- took the stage at Symphony Hall in a size 48 double extra-long tuxedo ... and temporarily filled in for conductor Keith Lockhart for a rendition of "Sleigh Ride."
HE EVEN BUSTED OUT A SPIN MOVE!!! GIVE THIS GUY A CONTRACT!
Fall absolutely smashed his orchestra debut -- and the crowd went wild for him.
After the show, Fall gave props to Shaquille O'Neal -- who conducted back in 2010 -- telling the Boston Globe he prepared by studying Shaq's performance.
Shout out to Tacko ... one of the nicest guys in pro sports.
Fall was a college sensation back at UCF but didn't get picked in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Celtics signed him to a deal and he did well in the NBA's summer league -- eventually making his NBA debut in October.
Bottom line, the people love Tacko!!
Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone!
