Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6

Vivian Fung: Aqua
Jean Sibelius: Violin Concerto
Pyotr llyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6

Sibelius’s Violin Concerto occupies rare territory—technically demanding, deeply expressive, and long admired by audiences. Kerson Leong returns to pour his talent into this haunting and expansive work. Vivian Fung’s Aqua brings a vivid, contemporary voice to the program, evoking shifting textures and fluid motion inspired by the natural world. The program closes with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, a deeply introspective work spanning a range of emotions, from quiet melancholy to vibrant, almost frenetic intensity.

This concert made possible with support from the Consulate General of Canada in Detroit and the Québec Office in Chicago.
