The evening will begin at 19:00 with a prelude event, where attendees can join one of our esteemed musicologists to delve into the creative process behind the works being performed and gain insights into the historical context in which they were composed. This prelude is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of the music and its significance before the main performance.

The concert will feature a world premiere of a piano concerto by Airat Ichmouratov, created for the rising star pianist Jean-Philippe Sylvestre. Ichmouratov, a versatile musician with over 75 compositions to his name, returns to lead the orchestra, where he previously served as assistant conductor in residence from 2009 to 2011. His work, alongside Tchaïkovski's monumental Fourth Symphony, will showcase the rich emotional landscapes and technical brilliance of classical music.

Tchaïkovski's Fourth Symphony, composed in Venice, is a programmatic work that explores the themes of fate and the search for happiness, likened to an opera without singers. It's a journey through life's ups and downs, masterfully conveyed through Tchaïkovski's expressive and dynamic orchestration.
