Join the Hampton Roads Philharmonic for an afternoon of music that showcases the lyrical beauty and the dramatic intensity of the orchestral repertoire.The highlight of the concert will be Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Composed in 1888, this symphony is a profound exploration of fate and destiny, themes that are woven through its sweeping melodies and powerful orchestration. Tchaikovsky’s genius for creating emotionally charged and richly textured music has made this symphony a beloved cornerstone of the classical repertoire.
This performance also honors two significant milestones in the world of classical music: the 100th anniversary of Gabriel Fauré’s passing and the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst’s birth. In commemoration, the orchestra will perform Fauré’s Pavane, a delicate and haunting piece that captures the melodic beauty of the late Romantic period. Holst’s Two Songs without Words, perhaps a lesser-known work, nevertheless showcases the composer at his best, combining instantly appealing folk melodies with bold and stately orchestration.
Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com or in person at the Hampton Coliseum Box Office (Tues-Fri, 10am-4pm). No Refunds/No Exchanges.
