BSO - Alsop Conducts Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique

Marin Alsop conducts the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in a commemorative program marking the 25th anniversary of September 11. The concert begins with Samuel Barber’s searching Adagio for Strings, followed by John Adams’s Pulitzer Prize-winning On the Transmigration of Souls, which Adams described as creating a “memory space.” The program concludes with Tchaikovsky’s deeply expressive Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique.”

Together, the works form an impassioned and reflective concert that moves from remembrance toward emotional vitality.
