Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 & Swan Lake

About this event

A work of volcanic drama, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 comes to life in a powerhouse performance from Tom Borrow, a “sensational” pianist who displays “a touch both light and powerful” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Prepare to be jolted by the thunderous, curtain-raising chords, savor the tranquil sounds of Ukrainian folk songs and leap out of your seat following the concerto’s jubilant conclusion.

Then, get to know Tchaikovsky’s romantic side in the suite from his beloved ballet Swan Lake. A tale that has long captured the popular imagination — serving as the dramatic backdrop to movies like Black Swan and Billy Elliott — Swan Lake transports you to a fantastical realm of heroic princes and enchanted swans, where love holds the power to break an evil sorcerer’s spell.
