ABOUT THIS CONCERT:

Our next concert will dive deep into the iconic fifth symphony by Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky described this music as “being resigned to fate” in the beginning, and then through the course of the symphony, it will emerge into a glorious symphony of victory. This is a very powerful and deeply personal expression from Tchaikovsky. Also on this program, we will feature an overture by French composer Louise Farrenc, a composer who had to overcome the misogyny of her times in order to thrive as a composer and musician. Rounding out the first half, Matthew Hakkarainen lends his talents to the famous Violin Concerto in E minor by Mendelssohn.

Program:

Louise Farrenc: Overture No. 1

Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor
Matthew Hakkarainen, guest soloist

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5
