Led by Austin Chanu with Concertmaster Joo Young Oh, this program moves from Tchaikovsky’s dramatic flair to Bartók’s full-throttle orchestral color.
Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet: Fantasy Overture kicks things off in a rush of energy, passionate, sweeping, and instantly compelling. Mozart’s Flute Concerto then brings a lighter, more lyrical mood, featuring QPO’s Aleksandr Haskin as soloist.
After the interval, Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra takes over with bold rhythms, vivid sound, and one standout moment after another across the ensemble, culminating in a thrilling finale. An evening not to be missed!
