Brahms & Tchaikovsky 5

Venue: Orpheum

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Masterworks Gold presents Brahms & Tchaikovsky 5

One of the world’s foremost violinists, Gil Shaham rises to the challenge of Brahms’ only Violin Concerto, famously called “unplayable” due to its reckless speed and agility. Continuing on a daring note, conductor Han-Na Chang tempts Fate itself with Tchaikovsky’s magnificent Fifth Symphony. Canadian composer Ian Cusson’s tone poem, A Child’s Bright Eyes, takes inspiration from the work of late East Van poet, Zaccheus Jackson.
