Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra - Vladimir Fedoseyev - Varvara

Works by Tchaikovsky

Founded in 1930 (as Grand Symphony Orchestra of All-Union Radio and Central Television), Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra (TSO) was the first symphony orchestra active in USSR, as well as the first orchestra to perform non-Soviet composers. Several major composers (Nikolai Golovanov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Sergei Prokofiev, Aram Khachaturian, Georgy Sviridov) entrusted the first performance of their work at TSO. As a result, TSO quickly rose to fame and became one of the leading orchestras in the world.
For this performance, TSO will be conducted by the award-winning Vladimir Fedoseyev. Having collaborated with the greatest musicians and companies in the world (chief conductor of Vienna Philarmonic Orchestra between 1997-2006, La Scala, Opernhaus Zürich), Fedoseyev is the heart and soul of TSO, serving as artistic director and chief conductor since 1974. Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra will be joined by the distinguished, award-winning Russian pianist Varvara Nepomnyashchaya. In the first part of the performance, the artists will perform Capriccio Italien and Piano Concerto No. 1. In the second part, the orchestra will perform suites from The Nutcracker and excerpts from Tchaikovsky's ballets The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
