Tchaikovsky’s thrilling Fourth Symphony is featured in this program, with Berlioz’s early Waverley Overture and Debussy’s evocative La mer preceding it. From previous seasons, we have also included works by Martucci and Ravel. CSO musicians Jennifer Gunn (piccolo) and Baird Dodge (principal second violin) talk about their roles in audio interviews, with Gunn mentioning the extreme preparation needed for her brief (nineteen notes!) solo, and Dodge comparing Tchaikovsky to Shakespeare.
