WHAT MAKES IT GREAT?
Featuring violinist Timothy Chooi and the Manhattan School of Music Camerata Nova
The 1881 premiere of Tchaikovskys Violin Concerto in D Major got one of the most famous bad reviews in the history of Western music. Savaged as music that stinks to the ear in which the violin is torn asunder and beaten black and blue, the piece overcame its critics to become one of the most popular pieces ever composed. Host Rob Kapilow takes you deeply inside this dazzlingly difficult, thrilling masterpiece to reveal how Tchaikovskys only violin concerto, reviled by his contemporaries, became a cornerstone of the classical repertoire.
2026-27 tickets go on sale in July.
