Experience the profound journey of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, under the baton of Gustavo Gimeno, presents "Tchaikovsky & Pereira." This series of performances, starting on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 8:00 PM, and continuing through the weekend, promises an evening filled with dramatic orchestral color, tumultuous emotions, and passionate themes of fate and triumph.

The program begins with Bernard Herrmann's suspenseful Suite from "Vertigo," a brass-filled suite of love and obsession from Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film. The evening then transitions to a world premiere, as the LA Phil showcases one of its own, Principal Percussionist Matthew Howard, performing a new Percussion Concerto by Principal Timpanist and composer Joseph Pereira. This LA Phil commission promises to be a highlight, offering a unique showcase for percussion music by and for percussionists.

The climax of the evening is Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, a masterpiece that embodies a profound journey through its dramatic orchestration and passionate themes. Under the guidance of Gustavo Gimeno, a percussionist-turned-conductor, the orchestra is set to bring this symphony to life, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.

This event is part of the Thursday Evenings TH1 Series, which includes other notable concerts such as "Star Wars in Concert," "Schumann & Brahms," and "Yo-Yo Ma, Williams & Dudamel." Each performance is a testament to the LA Phil's commitment to delivering diverse and dynamic musical experiences.
