2015 Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

2015 Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Dvorak - Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104, B. 191
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36

In their tenth consecutive SMF appearance, the world-renowned Atlanta Symphony Orchestra brings a powerful program of symphonic masterworks. Music sometimes expresses feelings better than words. Dvorak’s Cello Concerto captures all of the grandeur of a big symphonic concerto and conveys the composer’s grief at the loss of his sister-in-law, Josefina, with whom he was deeply in love (in spite of being married to her sister). Tchaikovsky once wrote, “an artist lives a double life: an everyday human life and an artistic life, and the two do not always go hand in hand.” His Fourth Symphony is a clear expression of that struggle to find his artistic voice, and it remains one of the most frequently performed symphonies of the late 19th century, while also ranking as one of Tchaikovsky’s finest.
