Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4
$21-$102
- Zlatomir Fung, cello
- Ken-David Masur, conductor
Camille Saint-Saëns — Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky — Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36
Since winning the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition while still a student at the Juilliard School, cellist Zlatomir Fung has vaulted into the elite ranks of international soloists, cultivating "a rich, warm tone, impeccable intonation and thoughtful phrasing" (The Baltimore Sun) that he calls upon in the unusually fluid and sensitive First Cello Concerto by Saint-Saëns. Conductor Ken-David Masur returns with Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony—a poignant meditation on fate—along with a touching tribute by the dean of living Japanese composers.
Performances on March 7 & 9. The March 9 concert is a part of the Casual Conversations series, and will not include Zlatomir Fung or the Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto No. 1.
Please note: the program does not have an intermission.
