Tchaikovsky found both solace and inspiration in Ukraine, beginning his exuberant "Second Symphony" just outside Kyiv. Drawing on local folk songs, he wove a work brimming with warmth, color, and vitality. Paired with his radiant masterpiece is Mozart's "Symphony No.29," a youthful yet sophisticated gem whose playful interplay between strings and woodwinds creates a sparkling soundscape. Under the baton of The Cleveland Orchestra's Music Director, Franz Welser-Möst, this concert becomes a dialogue between two symphonic voices. Mozart's poised and elegant symphony set alongside Tchaikovsky's joyful and folk-infused work reveals unexpected connections between the Classical and Romantic worlds. Program: Mozart- Symphony No.29 Tchaikovsky - Symphony No 2, "Ukrainian"
