Esther Yoo violin
Delyana Lazarova conductor
With its sweeping melodies and raw emotion, Tchaikovsky’s famous Pathétique is a powerful exploration of love, loss and fate. It’s music that speaks from the heart, and under Principal Guest Conductor Delyana Lazarova’s baton, every note tells a story. In communist Poland, Witold Lutosławski takes a handful of folksongs and crafts them into a mini-masterpiece of wild rhythms and subversive beauty. And violinist Esther Yoo—described by The Strad as “the model of a violin soloist in the modern age”—performs teenage Mozart’s irresistibly quirky “Turkish” concerto.
