Boulder Symphony is proud to kick off 2018 and this concert with a world premiere of an orchestral work by Johnathan Bingham followed by a performance of Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 featuring Boulder Symphony’s own star piano virtuoso, Cody Garrison. Liszt composes with a seemingly insurmountable technical difficulty for both the piano and orchestra, and Garrison is sure to deliver a stunning performance you will not want to miss!
We will end the evening with Tchaikovsky’s Symphonie Pathétique, or “Passionate Symphony” - his sixth and final symphony. In the composer’s own words, this work “is my best and most sincere of all my works…and I have put my whole soul into it.” Tchaikovsky died only nine days after the first performance of this symphony, in which Tchaikovsky composes his final breath of life in the most heart-wrenching of all symphonic experiences the world has ever known.
