Description

Few symphonies capture the emotional volatility of the Romantic spirit as powerfully as Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. As intensely dramatic as any of his major works, the symphony portrays a triumphant struggle against fate, unfolding across four movements of surging emotion and unforgettable melody. Unafraid to turn inner turmoil into indelible music, the Fifth demonstrates exactly why Tchaikovsky stands among the Romantic era’s most compelling voices.

That spirit of Romanticism animates the rest of the program beginning with Weber’s Oberon Overture. Painting a vivid fantasy world, its theatrical nature and vivid orchestration reflect the era’s fascination with storytelling and the supernatural. Saint-Saëns’  Third Violin Concerto balances French refinement with Romantic intensity, demanding both technical brilliance and expressive playing from rising violinist Benjamin Beilman. Under the direction of Ramón Tebar, this is a program that will captivate from the first note to the last.
