Clyne Masquerade
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
Stravinsky Petroushka (1947)
About The Performance
Pain and pleasure play out on stage in symphonic color across three vigorous works. Anna Clyne’s Masquerade welcomes listeners to the pleasure gardens of 17th and 18th century Europe where attendees enjoy song, dance, and drink along paths winding through a beautiful landscape. Pleasure transforms into fiery passion with Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, the only such piece in his repertoire, full of bittersweet longing for new love which concludes with a breakneck exchange between the violin and orchestra. Complimented by Stravinsky’s Petrushka (1947), the pains of the heart are played out on stage in two of the greatest pieces of their genres.
