Masterworks Concert: Wrestling with Destiny (71’)
Sometimes you fight against the odds and change the story of your life. Other times, fate cannot be escaped. Contemplating the unforeseen forces of the universe, three composers on the program offer their unique answers. Each work starts with a powerful “fate” motive that governs the narrative, shaping and bending the music to its will. Verdi: La Forza del destino (8’)Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 1 (19’)Jeffrey Biegel, piano Intermission
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 (44’)
