Return to tradition through the distinctive style of modern music.

Alayna McNeil, violin (2022 YAC Winner) & your Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra

More conventional than his earlier bold works, Prokofiev gives a nod to traditional Russian folk music and hints at a taste of Spain in this concerto, performed by Young Artist Competition winner and LSO violinist Alayna McNeil. Listen for the castanets in the third movement’s theme!

Tchaikovsky conducted the premiere performance of his fifth symphony. His “fate theme” appears in each movement of the work.  The music begins in a somber mood, gradually transforming into a triumphant march, upholding the idea of ultimate victory through strife.  A Boston newspaper review said it “sounds like nothing so much as a horde of demons struggling in a torrent of brandy”.  This we must hear!
