“Truly there would be reason to go mad were it not for music.” – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky


Acclaimed pianist Arnaldo Cohen makes his debut with Liszt’s virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2. Brimming with originality and adventure, the Concerto is a poetic journey from beginning to end. Guest conductor Gerard Schwarz leads the orchestra in the mystical Symphonie Pathétique, which represents Tchaikovsky at the peak of his creative powers. It would prove to be his last and most poignant masterwork.
