Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6
Friday, December 1, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
James A. Little Theater
at the New Mexico School for the Deaf
Join us as we explore the last movement Tchakiovsky's last symphony - need we say more?
The composer subtitled it "The Passionate Symphony," but we know it as the "Pathetique."
The act of writing it and the enthusiastic reception cheered up the characteristically nervous,
depressive composer quite a bit, but he never divulged the program of the work,
which he conducted at it's premiere just a few days before he died.
Oliver’s engaging, informative commentary and musical
illustrations by the SFCO
will take you inside the music and the life and times of Tchaikovsky, followed by a
complete
performance of the last movement.
