Stories of tragic love unfold through the expressive power of the orchestra. Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde conveys the tender weight of grief with exquisite harmonies, and Tchaikovsky recounts forbidden lovers from Dante’s Inferno who are eternally tossed in the wind. The highs and lows of a bittersweet romance are on display in scenes from Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier.

Superstar violinist Hilary Hahn returns with Mozart’s majestic Violin Concerto No. 5. Nicknamed the “Turkish” concerto, it contains a lively section meant to evoke an Ottoman military band. The season concludes with a flourish as Jader Bignamini leads the DSO in Rachmaninoff’s sumptuous Second Symphony, a work beloved for its rich orchestral textures and soaring melodies.

Explosive yet graceful, touching yet playful—there’s no band quite like Pink Martini! Joined by the DSO and featuring the sensational Storm Large, this 12-musician ensemble delivers a genre-blurring performance that blends jazz, world music, and ’40s-’50s pop, taking audiences on a musical journey around the globe. With songs in 25 languages and over 3 million albums sold worldwide, Pink Martini returns to Orchestra Hall for an unforgettable evening.
