About the Music:
- TCHAIKOVSKY Piano Concerto No. 1
- TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 5
Powerhouse pianist Yuja Wang returns to Severance for two special performances with The Cleveland Orchestra and Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. Witness Wang’s “superhuman keyboard technique” (San Francisco Chronicle) in the athletic feats and crystalline beauty of Tchaikovsky’s beloved First Piano Concerto. Welser-Möst and the Orchestra then turn to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, a rollicking thrill ride that opens in dark despair and ends with a blazing symphonic celebration.

- The Cleveland Orchestra
