Experience the expressive lyricism of Dvořák's A Major Piano Quintet, a tour de force that blends elements from Czech folk music with original melodies. This quintet is considered to be one of the masterpieces in the form, along with those of Schumann, Brahms, and Shostakovich. The program includes Alex Robertson's String Trio and Sheridan Seyfried's Violin Sonata, promising innovative and dynamic performances of two exciting world premieres. This unique concert showcases the virtuosity of Pacific Symphony musicians in a program that pairs modern creativity with a timeless classic.

Fresh Premieres & Timeless Dvořák

Samueli Theater

Written against the backdrop of World War I, Nielsen’s Fourth Symphony, “The Inextinguishable”, stands as a beacon at the onset of the twentieth century. From its thunderous opening to one of the most stunning finales of the orchestral repertoire, the symphony comes to a grand close with a triumphant and enormous affirmation of life itself. Pianist Orli Shaham then joins Maestro Robertson for John Adams’ wickedly entertaining piano concerto in its long-anticipated Vancouver premiere.
