This dynamic concert blends classical elegance with cinematic magic. From the thrilling Entry of the Gladiators to the beauty of Swan Lake and The Swan, the first half dazzles with works by Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns, Joplin, and Williams, closing with the mysticism of Holst’s Uranus. After intermission, the energy soars with Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance, and Stravinsky’s Danse Infernale, balanced by the serenity of Satie and the sweeping melodies of Williams and Bizet. The evening concludes with Tchaikovsky’s triumphant Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, leaving a lasting impression.
