LNSO, Poska and Tchaikovsky. Baltic Symphony Festival

Georg Sarkisjan — violin

Conductor Kristiina Poska

Programme: 

•      Aram Khachaturian Violin Concerto 

•      Pyotr Tchaikovsky Symphony no. 6

 

In her first concert as Principal Guest Conductor, Poska delights listeners with music full of Slavic soulfulness and colour. In Khachaturian's Violin Concerto, we hear the composer at the height of his fame refers to his Armenian roots, infusing them into the concerto's melodies, modes, and fiery rhythmic patterns. This time, the piece will be in the hands of LNSO's virtuoso and passionate concertmaster Georg Sarkisjan. Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony (Pathétique) speaks for itself: premiered just nine days before the composer's passing, it encompasses the whole spectrum of life – joy and tragedy, happiness and despair, elation and silent farewells.
