Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4
Since winning the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition while still a student at the Juilliard School, cellist Zlatomir Fung has vaulted into the elite ranks of international soloists, cultivating “a rich, warm tone, impeccable intonation and thoughtful phrasing” (The Baltimore Sun) that he calls upon in the unusually fluid and sensitive First Cello Concerto by Saint-Saëns. Conductor Ken-David Masur returns with Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony—a poignant meditation on fate—along with a touching tribute by the dean of living Japanese composers.
ELEVATE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Join us when the lobby opens at 6:30 PM for lobby performances that showcase the cultural beauty of Japan. Performances by Misako Ballet Company and Japan-born soprano, Eriko Tokura will begin at 7 PM in the Lockheed Martin Lobby (orchestra level).
