While Tchaikovsky is usually represented by his most popular pieces, there is much in his output that remains to be discovered and enjoyed by audiences. This concert features the overture to the opera Pique Dame, a suite from the incidental music for Alexander Ostrovsky’s play The Snow Maiden, and the haunting Sérénade mélancolique featuring the Philharmonic’s concertmaster, Jae-In Shin, as well as four of Tchaikovsky’s most enduring works: the Waltz from the opera Eugene Onegin, the Marche Slave, a transcription for string orchestra of the Andante cantabile from his String Quartet No. 1, and the powerful symphonic poem after Dante, Francesca da Rimini.
From the Allied Arts of Renton 2015 Fall Newsletter:
Each year Allied Arts partners with Seattle Philharmonic's outreach program to give young musicians the opportunity to join the orchestra in several rehearsals and then perform with the orchestra on one selection at the concert. Students from Lindberg, Hazen and Renton High Schools and Renton Youth Symphony Orchestra will participate, aided in rehearsals by their high school music teachers.
Students from this performance will be invited to perform with the orchestra at the Benaroya Hall concert on October 24. Each year students are invariably enthusiastic in their praise of this special personal musical opportunity of working with a professional orchestra.
Admission: $8 adults, $5 seniors, $3 students (18 and under)
