The concerts take place October 21 at 8 p.m. at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City and at October 22 at 8 p.m. at the Flint Center/De Anza College in Cupertino.

The season opening program offers an emotional journey for performers and audiences alike. In Brahms' "Double Concerto," two richly textured solo lines interweave with Brahms' plush orchestral textures, leaving its three movements to cover a huge emotional range, filled with virtuosic solo passages, ardent melodies, and a grand sweep of emotion. Similarly, Tchaikovsky's Fourth also runs the gamut of emotions as he turns to the idea of Fate, reflecting his personal emotional conflicts and struggles to make sense of the world. Throughout the four movements, Tchaikovsky presents a series of anxious, sublime, and energetic episodes, each one haunted in some way by Fate. Finally, Fate is forgotten in a rush of energy, leading into a triumphal Finale, ending in a mood of furious victory. Thrilling, raw and intriguing, these pieces demand an emotional connection with the audience.
