Don’t miss this! Xian Zhang arrives with a bouquet of Tchaikovsky scores, sure to showcase her “dynamic presence” (The Cincinnati Enquirer) and the Orchestra’s artistry.

• TCHAIKOVSKY Polonaise from Eugene Onegin
  Darker currents lie beneath the surface of this charming dance.

• TCHAIKOVSKY Piano Concerto No. 1
  Russian and Ukrainian folk songs lend a dash of Slavic soul to this hugely popular concerto. Majestic, with flashes of triumphant energy.

• TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 5
  Regally tempestuous. Tchaikovsky considered it a failure, but history has judged it a masterpiece.
