Overture, Le corsaire, Op. 21

Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Symphony No. 4, Op. 36

Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4, Op. 36 – often referred to as the "Fate" symphony because of the dark undertones – headlines the second concert of the season. Written in the shadow of Beethoven's masterful Symphony No. 5, Tchaikovsky echoes the great master's melancholy in this hallmark orchestral work.

Carol Wincenc, professor of flute at Juilliard, joins the orchestra for Carl Nielsen's Flute Concerto, composed in 1926 for the legendary flautist M. Holger-Gilbert Jespersen. This concert will also feature members of the Youth Music Monterey County Honors Orchestra playing side-by-side on Hector Berlioz's Overture, Le corsaire, Op. 21, which, like the Tchaikovsky symphony, was also composed during a period of great despair.

KAZU will be rebroadcasting the Saturday, November 17th concert on both  Saturday,  December 1st at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday, December 2nd at 4:00 p.m.

Join us one hour prior to every performance for our pre-concert lectures in the Hall of Sunset Center.
