Fatum
Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony, his "Fate" Symphony, grapples with the "fateful power that hinders our pursuit of happiness." This music sounds driven, ecstatic, and sometimes desperate. But don't worry, the evening also offers more relaxed forces. Avi Avital's fate is the mandolin, an instrument he has single-handedly brought to the forefront.
