Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5
We return to the Athens Epidaurus Festival with our Principal Conductor and captivating violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja.
The beautiful backdrop of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus is the perfect setting for Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. From the singing horn melody of the second movement to the triumphant, stormy finale, Tchaikovsky’s Fate-driven symphony rightly remains a firm audience favourite.
Described as a violinist ‘in a class of her own’ (The Times), Patricia Kopatchinskaja is known her for theatrical and energetic performances. Tonight, she brings her dynamism to the stage in Stravinsky’s Violin Concerto.
