Inspired by poetry and prayer, Arvo Pärt’s Swansong opens the program with a spacious, meditative stillness. Tchaikovsky’s deeply personal Symphony No.6 Pathétique closes it – his final completed work, imbued with impassioned beauty and a sense of farewell. Mozart’s sparkling concerto offers a delicate contrast with its ethereal blend of flute and harp, their solo voices weaving together with the warmth and intimacy of old friends.
