Inspired by Slavic fairytales and the Russian landscape, the program explores the meeting of Western classical tradition and Russian folk influence through a concert for strings orchestra:
- Anton Arensky: Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky, Op. 35a
- Dmitri Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony, Op. 110a
- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings, Op. 48
The program pairs Tchaikovsky’s well-known Serenade for Strings with Arensky’s tribute to Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich’s deeply personal Chamber Symphony, offering audiences an afternoon centered on lyricism, contrast, and emotional depth.
