Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony ‘Pathétique’ is a gripping battle of destiny. Fabio Luisi is a masterful communicator of its raw emotion and existential drama. This evening, the symphony is paired with Scriabin's virtuosic and expressive Piano Concerto, featuring rising star Bruce Liu as piano soloist.

Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 was to be his final work, and there is a sense of destiny about the whole piece. Emotions run high from the mysterious opening until the music retreats into the heartbreakingly beautiful darkness of the last movement. Tchaikovsky himself said that he put his whole soul into this symphony. It stands as one of his most personal and emotional works.

Only three years later, Alexander Scriabin wrote his only piano concerto which, like much of his early piano music, is imbued with Chopinesque elegance, personal introspection and heartfelt beauty. Tonight's soloist is Canadian pianist Bruce Liu, winner of the 2021 International Chopin Competition. After his victory, he was hailed as one of the foremost Chopin pianists of our time - the perfect starting point for Scriabin's elegant and charming masterpiece.
