SUMMARY:Tzigane\, Boutin-Bourque\, & Gunter – Schubert Symphony No. 9
DESCRIPTION:Canadian composer Jacques Hétu’s Légendes weaves three Québec folk tales into devilishly clever orchestral storytelling\, rich in colour and dramatic flair. Richard Strauss’s Concertino for Clarinet and Bassoon offers a rare and playful spotlight for two wind soloists\, and provides a special opportunity to feature Victoria Symphony’s own principal players\, David Boutin-Bourque (Principal Clarinet) and Jennifer Gunter (Principal Bassoon)\, in a work full of wit\, lyricism\, and elegant dialogue. Schubert’s monumental Ninth Symphony crowns the program: a vast\, life-affirming journey often likened to a four volume novel that leaves you yearning for more. Guest conductor Eugene Tzigane unites these works through a shared fascination with storytelling\, character\, and symphonic scale.

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Parker – Mozart & Sibelius
DESCRIPTION:Internationally acclaimed pianist Jon “Jackie” Kimura Parker—one of Canada’s most beloved and dynamic artists—brings elegance\, wit\, and sparkle to Mozart’s radiant Jenamy (also known as Jeunehomme) Concerto. Lithuanian composer Raminta Šerkšnytė’s Midsummer Song glows with the serenity and timelessness of the solstice\, while Sibelius’s Third Symphony\, a masterpiece of restraint and clarity\, closes the program with balance\, poise\, and quiet revolution. Music that finds grandeur not in excess\, but in refinement.

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Shostakovich Leningrad Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Shostakovich’s monumental Seventh Symphony was composed in 1942 during the brutal Nazi siege of Leningrad\, as the composer refused evacuation and wrote from the besieged city. Its historic performance by the starving musicians of Leningrad\, broadcast across the city\, became a symbol of defiance against totalitarianism. Later smuggled to New York\, the work caused a sensation under Toscanini. Scored for a very large orchestra\, this multi-layered symphony questions whether Shostakovich’s dedication refers to the city besieged by the Nazis or the one he reportedly said “Stalin destroyed and Hitler simply finished off.” What remains clear is its powerful portrayal of fascism and the triumph of the human spirit.
