This concert is bursting with emotion. Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings," one of the most beloved pieces for string orchestra, reveals his innermost feelings, nostalgic admiration for Mozart, and the vibrant influence of Russian folk music. Similarly, George Walker’s "Lyric for Strings" showcases a delicate yet rich expression of emotion.
