OVERVIEW
Centered around the allure of the sea, this program is as captivating as a siren’s song. Prepare to be swept away by the evocative tone poem The Tempest, Tchaikovsky's symphonic narration of Shakespeare’s play and the ocean's tumultuous beauty. Then allow the melodies of Shostakovich's mesmerizing Second Piano Concerto, celebrated particularly for its breathtaking second movement, to wash over you.
We set sail through Britten's Four Sea Interludes from the opera Peter Grimes and conclude with a suite from Korngold's majestic score for The Sea Hawk—written specifically for the swashbuckling cinematic adventure and resonating with the depths of the ocean's mysteries. Each note becomes a wave, carrying you through dramatic narratives as vast as the sea itself.
