Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 5 at The Morrison Center

The final concert of the season will feature monumental works of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Schumann. Beethoven’s Egmont Overture is his testament to victory over the intrigues and oppression of the Napoleonic Era of 19th century Europe. Pianist Alexander Schimpf, winner of the coveted 2012 Cleveland Piano Competition, will dazzle us with Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, a gift of love to the composer’s wife, Clara. And to conclude this gala night of symphonic titans, the orchestra will play Tchaikovsky’s thundering test of the fates, the mighty Symphony No. 5 in E minor.
