Gustavo Gimeno conducting

Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique

Wed, May 7–Sat, May 10, 2025 Roy Thomson Hall

Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique”, his eloquently profound final symphony, expresses the depths and peaks of the human experience, encompassing life’s beauty and the inevitability of death. By contrast, the poignant intensity of Bjarnason’s I Want to be Alive—Trilogy for Orchestra offers a powerful exploration of human vitality.
