ABOUT
Join us for a breathtaking evening featuring award‑winning pianist Olivia Larco, First Prize winner of the 2024 Arthur Fraser Piano Competition.

We’ll launch the night with Smetana’s vivacious Overture to The Bartered Bride, its sparkling folk tunes setting the stage for what’s to come. Then, Olivia Larco takes the spotlight in Tchaikovsky’s thunderous Piano Concerto No. 1. Finally, the orchestra dives into Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Symphony No. 4, where fate’s ominous brass calls give way to sublime lyricism and a triumphant finale that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Don’t miss The Tchaikovsky Concert—an unforgettable fusion of star power, passion, and pure Romantic splendor!
