Russian superstar Olga Kern is recognized for her vivid stage presence, passionate musicianship, and extraordinary technique. This striking pianist promises to captivate local audiences in one of Rachmaninoff’s most treasured works. Tchaikovsky’s popular symphony was his favorite: thrilling, bombastic, and ultimately a triumph of the human spirit. 2 6 0 • 4 8 1 • 0 7 7 7

“Melody is the nature of music,” said Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and these three masterpieces remind us why we love the great composer’s music so much. Tchaikovsky’s Suite pays homage to Mozart, written as a tribute on the 100th anniversary of Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni.

bEEThovEn Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92

Beethoven’s Triple Concerto is a tour de force for the soloists, exploring motifs and contrasting moods, like three characters in a play. Repeated three times in the weeks following its premiere, “applause rose to the point of ecstasy” for Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. Blazing, wild, breathless and utterly joyful, it continues to be a work of enduring artistic significance and popularity more than 200 years after its premiere.

Puccini A Concert Version of the Opera in Three Acts ACT I Inside the church of Sant’Andrea della ValleACT II Scarpia’s apartment in the Palazzo Farnese, that eveningACT III The upper parts of the Castel Sant’Angelo, early the following morning

Giacomo Puccini’s passionate and theatrical opera tells the tale of the fiery diva Tosca, her artist and revolutionary lover Cavaradossi, and the corrupt police chief Scarpia, before whom all of Rome trembles. Tosca includes some of the most beautiful arias in the repertoire and since its premiere in 1900, audiences remain spellbound by its themes of sadistic lust and political intrigue.

This delightful all-English program offers Gustav Holst’s The Planets, a lush exploration of the planets of our Solar System and their corresponding astrological characters. Walton’s romantic concerto is one of the most striking in the repertory with its lyrical melodies, fiery virtuosic passages, and masterful orchestral writing.

Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata runs the gamut of emotions, from meditative, joyous, and exuberant to forceful. On the last leaf of the sketches for the moving Adagio of his “Rasumovsky” Quartet, the composer wrote, “A weeping willow or acacia tree on my brother’s grave.” This had masonic significance, for the acacia is widely considered the symbolic plant of Freemasonry.

dvořák String Quintet in G Major for two Violins, Viola, Cello, and Bass, Op. 77

A youthful work, the String Quintet lay unknown and unpublished for over a decade until Dvořák returned to it in order to keep up with the demands of his now well-established fame. Unmistakably Dvořák, the addition of the double bass adds sonority and a sense of space, creating an open-air quality to the work.

One of Schumann’s finest works, the Piano Quintet is brilliant and extroverted, melodic

and truly captivating. This was the work that established Schumann’s name among the

great composers.

The Philharmonic Chorus celebrates 40 years of extraordinary music making with one of the greatest oratorios in the choral orchestral repertory. Mendelssohn’s Elijah was hugely popular from the start; an early critic wrote, “The last note of Elijah was drowned in a long-continued unanimous volley of plaudits, vociferous and deafening...never was there a more complete triumph; never a more thorough and speedy recognition of a great work of art.”
