Kingston Symphony Presents Ligeti & Tchaikovsky

Prepare for an afternoon of musical brilliance and emotional depth as the Kingston Symphony presents Ligeti & Tchaikovsky, a concert that traverses the soundscapes of three extraordinary composers. From the playful indulgence of Maxime Goulet’s Symphonic Chocolates to the jaw-dropping virtuosity of Ligeti’s Violin Concerto, culminating in Tchaikovsky’s heart-wrenching Symphony No. 6, this performance promises an unforgettable experience.

🎻 Featuring Renowned Violinist Mark Fewer
Hailed as a “genre-bending” artist by the National Post and “intrepid” by the Globe and Mail, Mark Fewer has mesmerized audiences worldwide with his masterful versatility. From early Baroque to avant-garde, his performances with world-class ensembles push the boundaries of what the violin can achieve.

🎼 Program Highlights:
🍫 Maxime Goulet – Symphonic Chocolates – A deliciously delightful orchestral suite.
🎻 György Ligeti – Violin Concerto – A virtuosic, rarely performed masterpiece of staggering difficulty.
🎶 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – Symphony No. 6 (Pathétique) – A deeply expressive work of raw emotion and beauty.

💬 “Ligeti’s Violin Concerto is one of the hardest things you could possibly imagine to play. This piece is performed extremely rarely because the solo part is virtually impossible. It is also a transcendental experience to hear it.” – Maestro Evan Mitchell
