For the final concert of the regular season, the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra will perform Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F minor, conducted by Adam Stern, considered to be “one of the most towering symphonic structures in our whole literature”.

Composed in 1877, this powerful orchestral work by the Russian composer is ultimately a characterization of the nature of fate, as the composer explained in letters.

“Never yet has any of my orchestral works cost me so much labour, but I’ve never yet felt such love for any of my things. ...Perhaps I’m mistaken, but it seems to me that this symphony is better than anything I’ve done so far.” – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Performing with the Sammamish Symphony will be Youth Concerto Competition winner, Mira Yamamoto.

Admission: $20 ($15 student/senior, $10 children 10 and under)
