When Fate Dictates the Music

Out of sheer despair over a scathing review, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky burned the score of his masterpiece “Fatum” (“Fate”). Yet the work survived. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this monumental, somber symphonic poem returns to the stage.

Experience an extraordinary concert exploring the depths of genius—dramatic, intense, and unforgettable.

Nathalie Holzmüller takes you right into the heart of Tchaikovsky’s dramatic struggle between self-doubt and a brilliant rebirth.

Russian soprano Vera Klimova and bass Dmitry Lebamba lend the melancholy of Russian Romanticism unforgettable, spine-tingling voices. A gripping alternation of stormy outbursts and deeply lyrical passages. Denis Yaworsky at the piano rounds out this rarely heard masterpiece.
