About the Performance
Unsuk Chin’s Cello Concerto sees the orchestra and soloist Hayoung Choi locked in a “psychological battle” in a surreal dreamscape where the listener is invited to make their own interpretation of what they hear. Bookending the concerto, two powerful pieces from Verdi and Tchaikovsky that speak to one another with profound emotional depth. Tchaikovsky’s final completed work, Symphony No. 6 “Pathetique,” debuted nine days prior to his death. Verdi’s masterful La forza del destino Overture adapts musical themes from his opera of the same name to demonstrate the overwhelming force of destiny.
