Chan Conducts All-Tchaikovsky w/ the SF Symphony (Mar. 13-15)
Briefly

Tchaikovsky's masterpieces, Swan Lake and Symphony No. 6, evoke a blend of tenderness and violence, creating an ethereal yet primal experience in music. Swan Lake, described as a fairy tale, invites listeners to visualize enchanting swans thanks to Tchaikovsky's powerful compositions. The Sixth Symphony reflects profound longing, with the composer himself deeming it his finest work. A concert featuring these iconic pieces will be conducted by Chan and held at Davies Symphony Hall, complemented by a free preconcert talk, emphasizing Tchaikovsky’s lasting impact on classical music.
Tchaikovsky's music allows the enchanted swans to glide through one's imagination, demonstrating the unique power of his compositions to evoke deep emotions without relying on visuals.
His Sixth Symphony, described by Tchaikovsky as 'the best thing I ever composed or shall compose,' captures a mood of exquisite longing and profound contemplation.
