An Evening of Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture
Tchaikovsky Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33
Tchaikovsky Selections from Nutcracker Suites, Nos 1 & 2

Alexander Chaushian cello
Marios Papadopoulos conductor

Tchaikovsky is the consummate musical storyteller. For our season-opening, he brings us the passion and pain of the doomed lovers Romeo and Juliet and excerpts from his most inventive, action-packed and magical ballet score of all – the succession of seductively charming episodes that is The Nutcracker. No composer wears their heart on their sleeve quite like Tchaikovsky and his romantic soul can’t help but burst out of his Rococo Variations for cello and orchestra, a work supposedly contained by classical order and precision. Join Alexander Chaushian, Music Director Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra for a concert guaranteed to enchant.
