WVSO Presents "Full Moon and Empty Arms"
Featuring Tchaikovsky's "Ukrainian" Symphony and Rachmaninoff’s beloved 2nd Piano Concerto, performed by celebrated virtuoso pianist Svetlana Smolina.
Two of the most irresistible works in the Romantic repertoire share the stage: Tchaikovsky’s vibrant Symphony No. 2—rich with Ukrainian folk melodies and nicknamed the “Ukrainian” Symphony—and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, repeatedly ranked among the world’s most beloved classical pieces. Internationally acclaimed pianist Svetlana Smolina, who has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Mariinsky Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and major ensembles across Europe and the U.S., returns to Wenatchee for an evening of sweeping lyricism and dazzling virtuosity.
Nik’s Notes:
This concert showcases a pair of Number 2’s: the second of six symphonies by Pyotr Tchaikovsky and the second of four piano concertos by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Though both composers are Russian, their music leans West in its structure, harmonies, and style. For Tchaikovsky, he used Russian melodies within these Beethoven-like symphonic structures. And for Rachmaninoff, it was his gorgeous singable melodies superimposed on the highest level of technical demands of the solo pianist. We are so lucky to welcome Svetlana Smolina who has already performed numerous times in Wenatchee as part of the Community Concert Association.
