Pathétique - Songs from the Heart

Details

Enjoy a wonderfully varied program of music from three eras and four places - Canada, England, France and Vienna.

Maestro Arman leads the orchestra in Elgar's lyrical Serenade, the world premiere of a folk-inspired Sinfonietta by Montreal composer Petros Shoujounian. This will be the first performance of Toronto composer Colin Eatock's beautiful settings of poems by Bengali literary icon Rabindranath Tagore, a famous Romantic solo violin showpiece and a lush orchestral version of Beethoven's famous Pathétique sonata. Two exciting young Canadian soloists will be presented - soprano Kripa Nageshwar will perform the Eatock songs, and violinist Evan Pyne will appear in Saint-Saëns' brilliant Romantic virtuoso show-stopper, the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso.
