Tchaikovsky and Strauss

RTÉ Concert Orchestra
Anna Sułkowska Migoń, conductor
Suzie Thorn, oboe

Tchaikovsky and Strauss: composers who shaped the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tchaikovsky’s sweeping emotional style and Strauss’ rich harmonies with dramatic orchestration left an indelible mark on classical music. Join the RTÉ Concert Orchestra for a magnificent evening of orchestral storytelling under the baton of Anna Sułkowska Migoń, who recently led the orchestra for Cinematic Classics and The Elements of Genius: Kreisler & McCormack.

The evening begins with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, which vividly captures the passion, drama, and tragedy of Shakespeare’s timeless tale – an overture now iconic across film soundtracks and popular culture.

RTÉ CO oboist Suzie Thorn then takes centre stage for Strauss’ Oboe Concerto, a work of exquisite elegance and winding technicality. Strauss, a master of opera, brought an operatic, expressive quality to the concerto, when writing it in 1945 during his late creative period.

Presented by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
