“I have put my whole soul into this symphony,” Tchaikovsky wrote of his Pathétique, with its melancholic melodies, defiant dances, and a harrowing final statement. Plus, Composer-in-Residence Andy Akiho pays tribute to visual artist Jun Kaneko’s storied career in a multimedia work inspired by the ceramicist’s colossal sculptures.
The lyricism of music inspired by dance take center stage in Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony and Strauss’s Rosenkavalier Suite — their rhythms and melodies evoking the opulence of 19th-century Vienna. And Artist-in-Residence Xavier Foley paints musical portraits of Argentina in a new arrangement of Piazzolla’s tango-infused Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.
