ASO Presents Tchaikovsky: Overture, Concerto, & Symphony

An evening of Tchaikovsky! Featuring guest pianist Dina Kasman, the ASO will perform 3 works from the legendary Russian composer. The Tempest, based on the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare, is similar in structure to Tchaikovsky’s better-known Romeo and Juliet fantasy-overture. It contains themes depicting the stillness of the ship at sea, the grotesque nature of Caliban, and the love between Ferdinand and Miranda. The love music is particularly strong, being reminiscent of the love music from Romeo and Juliet. The orchestra will also perform Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 3 featuring Dina Kasman, as well as Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5.
