Tchaikovsky’s Fate

A soul-stirring journey from darkness to light with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra! 

James Kahane, Conductor 
Anna Fedorova, Piano 

Don’t miss the HPO’s gripping season finale concert! James Kahane and the Orchestra plumb the depths of emotion in Arvo Pärt’s haunting musical memorial for English composer Benjamin Britten. Pianist Anna Fedorova brings her consummate artistry to Rachmaninoff’s scintillatingly inventive variations on Paganini’s famous theme. The journey culminates with Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, wrestling with Fate’s mysterious ways—from solemn submission to passionate desire to triumphant hope.
