Sequoia Symphony

January's concert is a celebration of some of history's greatest love stories - and the music that brought them to life. Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe is a luxurious score that beautifully captures the blossoming of young love in a pastoral setting. Romeo and Juliet has inspired unforgettable music from many composers, from Tchaikovsky to Berstein. This time, we turn to Prokofiev, whose energetic and exotic score vividly expresses the passion and tragedy of these iconic, star-crossed lovers.

Tchaikovsky's heart-on-the-sleeve passion is everywhere in this program, from the virtuosic delights of his violin concerto, to the deep power of his final symphony -- when he seems to foreshadow his own death only days after the premiere.
