MountainTop Masterworks IV: Season Finale – Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony
Sunday, July 31 at 3:00 pm (pre-concert talk at 2:00 pm)
Wintergreen Festival Orchestra; Carl St. Clair, conductor; Steve Larson, viola
The majesty, power, heartbreak, and victory of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony concludes the 2023 Festival. Under the direction of Carl St. Clair, this incredible finale also includes John Wineglass’s Alone Together, written during the pandemic, and Kenji Bunch’s The Devil’s Box, a classical-meets-pop-meets-fiddling viola concerto featuring Wintergreen Music’s own Steve Larson.
New this year: Enjoy MountainTop Masterworks performances two ways! Come Saturday night for an illuminative digital enhancement exclusive to the Saturday concert experience (and perfect for the evening backdrop!). On Sunday, conductors add color and perspective to your concert experience beginning with a pre-concert talk beginning at 2:00 pm.
