Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony

The Fifth makes you feel, vividly – drama, despair, hope, joy – contained in melodies that’ll sweep you off your feet, and that has made this work a favorite of audiences around the world. Plus – enjoy the immense talents of superstar pianist Hélène Grimaud and a program of Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and Valerie Coleman (a BandQuest composer) premiering Umoja, a piece the Philadelphia Inquirer called “a powerhouse of emotional directness and bold orchestration” – and our first by a living African American woman.
