Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra: Agony and Ecstasy Concert
A concert of deeply moving works that will be cathartic for you as they were for their composers across three different centuries.
Dmitri Shostakovich, Symphony No. 10
A melancholy waltz, machine gun fire, a secret lover’s name… it’s all in this powerful and deeply moving masterwork – a Russian's journey from suffering through defiance and ultimately to strength and power.
Johannes Brahms, Tragic Overture
In 1880 Brahms wrote a pair of contrasting overtures: “One of them weeps, the other laughs.” His Tragic Overture may not weep, but it does have an emotional resonance that is powerfully affecting.
