Beautiful Minds - Darkness & Light

7:30pm

Vance Brand Civic Auditorium

Enjoy another LSO World Premiere performance. Intensely beautiful and moving, Tyler Harrison’s Symphony No. 3 The Garden of Tears is paired with Peter Tchaikovsky’s Symphony #6 The Pathetique in this moving program. Written just nine days before Tchaikovsky's untimely death, The Pathetique clearly shows this great composer wrestling with darkness and light. American composer Tyler Harrison’s World Premiere Symphony #3 “The Garden of Tears” is his thematically paired answer to The Pathetique. Harrison’s symphony ends with hope, as he says “The garden of life thrives on the tears that water it, but it is laughter that ultimately defines its beauty.” Powerful and transformative, this concert program will stay with you. Purchase tickets and learn more here.
