-Intermission-
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6, PathétiqueIn tribute to Serge Koussevitzky’s legacy, Andris Nelsons and the BSO dedicate this concert series to the trailblazer. In the spirit of Koussevitzky’s passion for promoting contemporary music and composers, this concert features Tania León's STRIDE, a Pulitzer prize-winning work of resilience and surprise.
Jean-Yves Thibaudet also joins for Khachaturian’s vibrant, colorful Piano Concerto, and the concert ends with Tchaikovsky’s moving, yearning Pathétique Symphony.
The Tchaikovsky is a staple of the orchestral repertoire. I don't have a clear memory of the other works, but I think the concert should be worth hearing.
