Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony opens with a fate motif in the woodwinds and low strings, making its way through the orchestra only to be interrupted by a rich and tender horn solo. The fate motif returns to meet its triumphant and dramatic brassy ending. Plus, a world premiere performance of Joseph Pereira’s new percussion concerto, Naru.
