Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet

About This Concert

Instantly recognizable thanks to its use throughout pop culture, Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet soars with tender poetry and heart-on-sleeve passion. Blazing with originality and raw intensity, Sofia Gubaidulina’s In Tempus Praesens (“For the Present Time”) is one of those works that must be witnessed live, and a spectacular experience awaits you with rising-star violinist Alexi Kenney. And, get swept away on a sea of glorious sound in Scriabin’s earth-shattering Poem of Ecstasy.

What To Expect?

Music you know and love: Tchaikovsky’s ultra-lush, ultra-passionate Romeo and Juliet is a pop culture staple you’ll recognize at once

Violin spectacle & showstopping stage presence: “It would be unfair to say that someday Alexi Kenney will be a superstar. He already is.” (Cleveland Classical)

The perfect post-Valentine’s date night: Bring your special someone to Jones Hall for an evening of romantic masterworks!
