No composer does emotion quite like Tchaikovsky. 鈥淲ith desire and passion鈥�, he wrote on the score of his Fifth Symphony, and it begins in melancholy and ends in roof-raising celebration. No wonder it鈥檚 one of the most popular symphonies ever composed - and conductor Tabita Berglund will bring out its raw power as well as all those unforgettable tunes. It鈥檚 a stirring climax to a concert that begins with a haunting folksong from the fjords of Norway, and stars the great Truls M酶rk in Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 Cello Concerto: music of heartfelt tenderness and epic grandeur. Some say it was inspired when the composer saw Niagara Falls 鈥� but decide for yourself today.
