Olga Kern returns to the Popejoy stage to take on Edvard Grieg’s fiery, lyrical, Schumann-influenced piano concerto. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony journeys from darkness to triumph with sweeping lyricism and commanding orchestral writing. The program opens with Takashi Yoshimatsu’s Sinfonia in Birds: To the Birds of Youth, a playful, avian-inspired mini-symphony that sets a vivid and imaginative tone.
