Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6

Sofia Gubaidulina: Fairy-Tale Poem
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. Sofia Gubaidulina's Fairy-Tale Poem offers its own kind of magic: a whimsical wonderland full of strange colors and storybook tension. 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.
