The opening piece of this artistic season will be Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a symphony that marked the evolution of symphonic music and has been the symbol of the genuine passion and the most cataclysmic dramatism. But, even Beethoven's lesser-known works offer up real beauty and splendour to be discovered—and this is most certainly the case with the Name Day (Namensfeier) Overture. On the other hand, Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto is anything but lesser-known. One of the most popular works in the symphonic repertoire, it will performed on this occasion by the celebrated soloist, Fil Liotis.
