“I have put my whole soul into this symphony,” Tchaikovsky wrote of his Pathétique, with its melancholic melodies, defiant dances, and a harrowing final statement. Plus, Composer-in-Residence Andy Akiho pays tribute to visual artist Jun Kaneko’s storied career in a multimedia work inspired by the ceramicist’s colossal sculptures.
