Presented by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra as part of the Classical Traditions Series at the Chan Centre.
Fate knocks at the door in one of the most famous openings in all of music, leading to a thrilling symphonic journey that concludes with a glorious statement of victory and hope; this is Beethoven’s breathtaking Symphony No. 5. Mozart’s delicate, magical Clarinet Concerto is performed by VSO Principal Clarinet Jeanette Jonquil, and Elgar’s Sospiri (Sighs) is a deep, heartfelt and strikingly beautiful adagio.
