About this Event
Timeless Resonance Music — December 5, 2026
As the year draws to a close, Timeless Resonance Music presents an evening exploring the expressive world of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The program highlights the lyricism and orchestral imagination of one of the Romantic era’s most celebrated composers, with a particular focus on his music for the winter season. From the sweeping melodies of his symphonic writing to the familiar themes of The Nutcracker, the concert offers a fresh perspective on works that have become part of our musical tradition.
Featured works include Tchaikovsky’s Andante cantabile from Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64, selected excerpts from The Nutcracker, and Anthony Passante Contaldi’s original Nutcracker Variations.
Bringing together familiar repertoire and original composition, Tchaikovsky in Winter offers an intimate and lyrical conclusion to our year of music-making in Philadelphia.
