Tchaikovsky Immersion: The Full Story Behind the Fourth Symphony

Oct. 19, 2024

7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Santa Barbara Symphony

“Tchaikovsky poured his soul into his symphonies,” says Music and Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti. “Symphonies that would express his inner anguish and romantic passions as no music had dared to.” Join Nir and The Symphony for an immersion into Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony on opening weekend. Nir takes you behind the notes to discover how this symphony came into being, the meaning of the motives, and the mystery woman who made it possible, followed by a performance of the work. (And learn even more at the pre-concert chat.)

Plus, the intoxicating, seductive sound of the classical guitar. Experience the greatest of all guitar concertos, Rodrigo’s haunting Concierto de Aranjuez, with the greatest classical guitarist of our time: Pablo Sáinz-Villegas. Billboard Magazine declares: “It’s safe to call him the global ambassador of Spanish Guitar.”
