Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” Symphony 2025-2026
Embark on an emotional journey through two profoundly moving masterpieces. First, soloist Nicolas Altstaedt will bring Elgar’s Cello Concerto to life with powerful intensity, followed by a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, a piece brimming with nostalgia and inner drama. From Tchaikovsky’s turbulent passion to Elgar’s poignant melancholy, every note unveils the complexities of human anguish and fear.
