Orchestral music from Russia has long been among classical music’s most celebrated repertoire. CGOA’s Gorge Sinfonietta explores three seminal Russian composers through works beyond their most famous pieces.
Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture moves from the Orthodox church into the light, showcasing his brilliant orchestral colors. Shostakovich’s October packs the intensity and grandeur of his symphonies into a 15-minute tone poem. And Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 unfolds from its opening horn solo with the drama and beauty that made him a cornerstone of classical music.
