Pyotr Tchaikovsky “Romeo and Juliet”
Antonín Dvořák “Symphony No. 7”

Featuring Young Artist Competition Winner

“Love & Death” explores the range and intensity of human emotion. Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet” captures the brooding tension, emotional conflict, and passion of the iconic love story. A testament to its timeless appeal, the works’ Love Theme has been used in modern-day productions as varied as The Jazz Singer, A Christmas Story, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and SpongeBob SquarePants. Tapping into the other end of the emotional spectrum, Dvořák’s “Symphony No. 7” reflects the inner drama and the restless energy of the composer, who was grieving the death of his mother while writing this masterpiece. Completed in 1885, the music captures the struggle, longing, and ultimate resilience of the time.

The PSO will also be joined by the 2027 Young Artist Competition winner, who will perform their winning concerto.
