From Ibrahimi’s epic dance to Tchaikovsky’s passion and Shostakovich’s biting drama, this concert crackles with energy and emotion.
About this Event

The evening opens with the driving rhythms and bold colours of Pjetër Gaci Ibrahimi’s Valle Epike, a work that pulses with folk-inspired energy and Albanian spirit. Canadian pianist Libby Yu* then takes the stage for Tchaikovsky’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 1, a romantic tour de force filled with soaring melodies, thunderous chords, and dazzling virtuosity. The program closes with Shostakovich’s Suite from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, a vivid, biting, and darkly humorous portrait of human drama, brimming with the composer’s signature intensity and theatrical flair.

Program:

Ibrahimi: Valle Epike

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor, Op. 23*

Shostakovich: Suite "Lady Macbeth from Mtzensk"

Financially, the orchestra relies on the generosity of audience members to offset concert and overhead costs, which average $35 per person per concert. The suggested donation of $30 per person can be contributed through Eventbrite on the next page.
