**Pathétique, Symphony No.6**

Fancy a good practical joke? **Richard Strauss** wrote _Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks)_ about a German folk hero who loved getting up to no good. It’s always fun to hear musical comedy from a serious composer, and we’ll be cracking a smile with you in the Concert Hall.

**Erich Wolfgang Korngold**’s Violin Concerto is up next, and young Swedish violinist **Daniel Lozakovich** will soar through the solo. You’ll hear cinematic strokes in this adventurous work by an Oscar-winning composer.

The energy continues when **Gábor Káli** conducts **Tchaikovsky**’s monumental Symphony No.6 (Pathétique). Its nickname is a poor translation of patetitcheskaja – the Russian word for ‘passionate’. Tchaikovsky said he put everything he had into this symphony, which is saying a lot when we’re talking about a man who wrote music for live cannons.
