Tchaikovsky Immersion: The Story Behind the Fourth Symphony

"Tchaikovsky poured his soul into his symphonies," says Music and Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti.  "Symphonies that would express his inner anguish and romantic passions as no music had ever dared to do."  Join Nir Kabaretti and the Santa Barbara Symphony for an immersion into Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony on opening weekend. Nir takes you behind the notes to discover how this symphony came into being, the meaning of the motives, and the mystery woman who made it possible, followed by a performance of the work. (And learn even more at the pre-concert chats!)
