$35-$96

Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky — Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64
Jennifer Higdon — blue cathedral

A great symphony is defined by its structure. Tchaikovsky's genius was for never-ending melody. When the two collided … even he had his doubts. But his Fifth Symphony remains unsurpassed. A truly glorious work stands alone in our season’s final Untuxed.
