Tchaikovsky's Second Symphony

Tchaikovsky began work on Symphony No. 2 while staying just outside of Kyiv. One of his most joyful compositions, the piece incorporates Ukrainian folk songs. The Cleveland Orchestra will play the piece tonight. It'll also play a percussion concerto commissioned for Christoph Sietzen, who'll perform with the orchestra. The concert begins at 7:30 at Mandel Concert Hall, where performances continue through Saturday.
