Former Bolshoi chief conductor Alexander Vedernikov returns to the Orchestra for an evening of music from Russia that will embrace you like a warm coat on a winter's day, but not before Gregory Sviridov鈥檚 vivid Suite from The Blizzard 鈥� a film based on Pushkin鈥檚 dramatic comedy 鈥� has plunged you deep into the swirling snowstorms, driving winds and political chill of a Soviet winter circa 1964.
Pianist Andrei Korobeinikov joins us for Rachmaninov鈥檚 tantalizing dance with love and death, the Paganini Rhapsody, before the icicle-clear melodies and bracing dances of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 symphonic celebration of winter.
