The Tchaikovsky Festival reaches its emotional zenith with the Sleeping Beauty Suite, Variations on a Rococo Theme, and Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique.” The enchanting melodies of the ballet suite give way to the virtuosic demands of the Rococo Variations, showcasing Marcin Zdunik’s profound artistry. The festival concludes with Symphony No. 6, Tchaikovsky’s final and most profound symphony, reflecting the full spectrum of human emotion. This weekend promises a deep dive into the soul of Tchaikovsky, presenting his most personal and introspective works in a celebration of his musical legacy.

Tchaikovsky Festival: Pathétique

Kleinhans Music Hall

Premiere preludes are a different look at the creator of the opera: a composer creating a great vocal, symphonic and theatrical form, whose personality we want to show from a slightly different side, in a modest, intimate statement in which he addresses his message directly to our feelings and hearts. These concerts are therefore usually solo or chamber, most often in one movement; they gather music lovers and opera lovers, sometimes surprising them and maybe even surprising them with the composer's different face. Touching the subtle matter of the highest quality chamber music is an excellent introduction to the musical aura - and not only - of the premieres that define the program axis of the season.
