This year’s Winter Festival stars multiple Grammy-winning maestro/violinist Pinchas Zukerman. He captivates with both bow and baton in this richly melodic program.

• TCHAIKOVSKY “Melodie” from Souvenir d’un Lieu Cher
  Lyrical and sentimental, recalling the beauty of the “cherished place” where Tchaikovsky wrote it.

• TCHAIKOVSKY Sérénade Mélancolique
  Tchaikovsky places a soulfully yearning violin tune in a burnished orchestral frame.

• TCHAIKOVSKY Serenade for Strings
  A lively homage to Mozart, yet unmistakably Russian.

• MENDELSSOHN Symphony No. 4, “Italian”
  Despite its great popularity, Mendelssohn couldn’t resist tinkering with this exuberant piece—he revised it twice.
