SONGS OF DESTINY

Join us for an enchanting musical journey that weaves together passion, virtuosity, and deep reflection. ✨

This captivating program features:

• Dorothy Howell’s Lamia, which opens with a darkly lyrical narrative about a nymph and her tragic fate at the hands of a jealous god.
• Renowned violinist Alexandra Conunova makes her CSO debut, bringing fiery energy and soaring lyricism to Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto, a crowning jewel of 20th-century Romantic concertos.
• Finally, experience solace through two profound choral works by Brahms: Nänie, a lament on the inevitability of death depicted through Greek mythology, and Schicksalslied ("Song of Destiny"), which contrasts the eternal bliss of immortals with the restlessness of humanity.
