Darkness into Dawn

About this event

Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits — “an inspired architect with an energizing presence” (The Telegraph) — makes his MSO debut with Tchaikovsky’s second symphony, called the “Ukrainian” for its use of Russian and Ukrainian folk themes throughout; this is some of Tchaikovsky’s most cheerful music, reflecting his deep love for the region. Another fellow countryman, Mussorgsky, draws on Russian legend for his haunting tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, instantly recognizable for its prominence around Halloween and in Disney’s Fantasia. Ingrid Fliter joins the orchestra for Beethoven’s gentle and witty second piano concerto. This program opens with a unique treat: the Concerto Triptych for string orchestra composed by Ivan Karabits, father of guest conductor Kirill. How you'll feel: roused by a musical panorama of Russia and Ukraine
