Program

Tzvi AVNI: Prayer for String Orchestra
BRUCH: Kol Nidrei, Op. 47
BERNSTEIN: Halil, Nocturne
TCHAIKOVSKY: Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, “Pathétique”

Pre-concert lecture at 7pm by KUSC's Brian Lauritzen.

Lahav Shani leads a musical program of prayer, passion, and remembrance. The evening features IPO’s principal cellist Haran Meltzer performing Bruch’s Kol Nidrei and principal flutist Guy Eshed performing Bernstein’s Halil—both pieces inspired by and for the Jewish community. From emotional extremes to an unexpected and lamenting finale, Tchaikovsky’s emboldened and unequivocally Romantic Sixth Symphony is his finest creation. “Without exaggeration, I have put my whole soul into this symphony,” Tchaikovsky.
