The Peterborough Symphony Orchestra (PSO) is excited to kick off their 2024-2025 season with a concert entitled "Romantic Flames" showcasing two of the most iconic romantic pieces, Dvorak’s Symphony no. 8 and Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto.
Dvorak’s Symphony no. 8 is one of his most beloved works that is steeped in Czech folk rhythms and yearning melodies. Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto, made famous through the movie “Shine,” is a show-stopper. We are thrilled that David Jalbert, one of Canada’s foremost piano virtuosos will bring the spark to this orchestral firework!
The concert will open with contemporary composer, Andrew Balfour’s “Pyotr’s Dream” which is influenced by the music of Tchaikovsky. Andrew is of Cree descent and based in Winnipeg. His work has been commissioned by several orchestras across Canada and we look forward to showcasing his music in Peterborough.
Arrive early (6:45 p.m.) and you will be treated to the “Meet the Maestro” informative and entertaining pre-concert talk that will give you a preview of the music you will hear.
