Dresden – Prag – Wien

Known as the "Bohemian Bach," Baroque master Jan Dismas Zelenka made his career at the Dresden court. Conductor Václav Luks considers him Bach's equal. This concert presents Zelenka alongside works by Pisendel, Weber, and Koželuh. Czech early music specialist Luks frames the program with Zelenka and Leopold Koželuh, who succeeded Mozart at the Salzburg court. Koželuh's works are reminiscent of Beethoven and Schubert. Clarinetist Sharon Kam performs Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 2.

Symphonic finale

Saint Petersburg, October 28, 1893. Nine days before his death, Peter Tchaikovsky conducts the premiere of his Sixth Symphony. He refers to it as a "program symphony" - with a secret program, that is top secret: "It is of a nature that it will remain a mystery for everyone! The work progressed so passionately, so quickly, that in less than four days I had the first movement completely finished and the other movements were already clear in my mind!" As if he had foreseen that he did not have much time left for composing. This symphony, with the nickname "Pathétique," is a truly dramatic, tragic, gripping, very passionate masterpiece - peculiar and unique. Grade levels: 7-10
