2. Gimeno, Lisiecki & Tchaikovsky 5

Gustavo Gimeno leads one of Tchaikovskys best-loved works, the impassioned and immense Fifth Symphony. Ever the rebel, Prokofiev packed his Second Piano Concerto with blistering piano fireworks that shocked early-20th-century audiences. To todays listeners, its virtuoso display is electrifying, and in the hands of incandescent Canadian star Jan Lisiecki, it will be nothing short of spectacular. Cris Derksens music draws upon both her classical background and her Indigenous ancestry, and Derksens Celebration Preludethe first of five season-wide preludes composed in honour of the TSOs 100th anniversaryreceives its World Premire. A blockbuster concert begins with the TSO and the talented musicians of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra side by side for colourful music of Shostakovich.Gustavo Gimeno, conductorJan Lisiecki, pianoToronto Symphony Youth OrchestraThis performance includes an intermission.Fri, April 22, 2022 at 7:30pm Sat, April 23, 2022 at 8:00pm Sun, April 24, 2022 at 3:00pm
