]]> Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony Carl St.Clair, artistic leader of the USC Thornton orchestras, leads the USC Thornton Symphony in a theatrical exploration of the life and music of Tchaikovsky with a multimedia performance of the composer's final piece, the Symphony No. 6 in B Minor. 

Known as the "Pathétique" Symphony (French for "pathetic"), the piece was premiered in Moscow nine days before Tchaikovsky's death in 1893, and mystery and portents of tragedy have surrounded it since its second performance at a memorial concert 20 days later.  St.Clair and the USC Thornton Symphony will present a multimedia concert that includes live theater, film, photographs, and a rare recording to illuminate this extraordinary musician.  The performance will also feature one of the composer's most famous pieces, Swan Lake, and a lesser-known masterpiece, a duet for an unfinished Romeo and Juliet opera.

This event is sponsored by Visions and Voices: the USC Arts & Humanities Initiative.
