Mark your calendar for this rare opportunity to savor Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons in its entirety, performed by acclaimed violin virtuoso Timothy Chooi. These evocative concertos, though not much heard in the generations after their creation, are today the crown jewels in the treasury of the Baroque repertoire. The Italian theme continues in the second half with Strauss’ Aus Italien, a rich and colorful musical diary of the composer’s youthful travels through the peninsula.

Though it’s uncertain for what purpose Beethoven’s Triple Concerto was written, its aristocratic pomp and refined interplay between the three soloists have cemented its reputation as the most enduring composition for violin, cello, piano, and orchestra. Prokofiev’s suite from Lieutenant Kijé (1934) was not only his first music for the silver screen, but the first-ever extraction of an orchestral soundtrack for the concert stage. The HSO closes this remarkable season with dazzling musical fireworks: Aleksandr Scriabin’s magnificent Poem of Ecstasy, a symphonic representation of pure creative spirit unleashed from all worldly confines –“eternal creation without external motivation,” in the composer’s own words.
