MOZART Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K.466
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6, Pathétique

Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki is the soloist in Mozart’s mysterious and stormy Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, which owes much to the composer’s sensitivity to operatic drama and expressivity. This concerto was particularly admired by artists of the Romantic era. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky said of his poignant Symphony No. 6, Pathétique, “I love it as I have never loved any of my musical children.” It was his last completed work; he led the premiere less than two weeks before his death

Saturday evening’s performance is generously supported by Anita Parlow in loving memory of her parents, Lois and Sydney Parlow.


Pre-concert Talk
The November 15 performance will include a pre-concert talk starting at 12:15pm with former BSO Director of Program Publications Marc Mandel.
