Kindred Spirits Orchestra to perform Capriccio Italien
The Kindred Spirits Orchestra performs a night of exceptional and evocative music. Tchaikovsky’s poignant Capriccio Italien is a musical travelogue painting the landscape of the composer’s journey to Rome. Violinist Conrad Chow commands the stage with Korngold’s romantic film-score inspired Violin Concerto. Shostakovich’s ultimate Symphony No. 15 embodies a range of musical emotion analogous to the composer and his life.
