Join us this Sunday, November 9 at 1 pm for the re-broadcast of a Philadelphia Orchestra concert from last January - part of a three-week celebration of works by Tchaikovsky and his contemporaries.
British conductor Robin Ticciati returns to Philadelphia after a highly acclaimed debut in 2012. The young maestro launches the celebration with a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4, taking us on an emotional journey toward an exhilarating affirmation of life’s joys.
The program opens with Anatol Liadov’s short tone poem, The Enchanted Lake, employing a combination of Russian folk tunes and impressionist colors in this charming work inspired by an isolated lake outside St. Petersburg.
