Dates Monday January 11 2027 - 20:00 Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto op. 35 Symphony No. 6 op. 74 "Pathétique" In a few words Here is a program requiring no justification other than the pleasure of listening to two of the finest works in Tchaikovsky's orchestral repertoire. A luminous score, as spirited as it is nostalgic, the violin concerto currently ranks at the top of the most popular and frequently performed concertos worldwide. An orchestral introduction prepares the entrance of the violin, which, after an improvisatory ascent into the high register, joins the lower register to intone the famous primary theme of the first movement. As for the Pathétique Symphony, this celebrated work needs no introduction, renowned for its melancholic waltz and frenzied march, concluding masterfully in the manner of a silent requiem.
