The Nutcracker
The question is whether any other composer has written a greater number of captivating tunes than Tchaikovsky? In the ballet Nutcracker the hits are following one after the other: Waltz of the Flowers and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Then follows a musical suite from the Russian-British composer Elena Langer’s opera Figaro Gets a Divorces, a freestanding sequel to Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. The concert is presented under the baton of rising star Anna Rakitina, assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
This production is part of one or more concert series.

Programme:
PJOTR TJAKJOVSKIJ: String sextet in D minor ”Souvenir de Florence”
Judging from the light touch, the normally anxious Piotr Tchaikovsky had pleasant memories from the time he spent in Florence. He composed the string sextet in D Minor – which he named “Souvenir de Florence”– after his return to St Petersburg. He wrote to his patron, Nadezhda von Meck, that he composed the energetic, danceable four movements with elements of folk music “with the greatest enthusiasm and with the least exertion”.
Approximate concert length: 45 min (no intermission)
