Internationally recognized conductor Vinay Parameswaran leads the Eugene Symphony in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beloved and passionate “Pathétique” Symphony, his final composition. The evening begins with Nina Shekhar’s haunting Lumina, which explores the spectrum of light, dark, and the hues in between with contrasting textures and harmonies. In between, we will hear Franz Liszt’s melodic and daring Piano Concerto No. 1.
