Violinist Bella Hristova returns to the CSO for Dvořák’s deeply expressive Violin Concerto, a work that blends fiery passion with haunting lyricism—perfectly suited to her playing, described by The Washington Post as possessing “impressive power and control.” Tension and unresolved emotion surge in Brahms’ stormy Tragic Overture, a brooding prelude to the evening. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, the Pathétique, brings the program to a poignant climax, unfolding in waves of aching beauty and profound introspection. Through each piece, the concert traces a journey into the darker corners of the human spirit—marked by yearning, struggle, and emotional depth. Whether it’s your first symphony experience or a long-awaited return, prepare to be immersed in sound that speaks with haunting, unforgettable beauty.
