Orchestra Kentucky celebrates the land of the Tsars with a Russian Circus! Cirque de la Symphonie, a company of acrobats, jugglers, dancers, and contortionists, perform suspended over the stage, while the orchestra plays classics like the finale to Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance from Gayne, and selections from Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol. Orchestra Kentucky’s musical acrobat, co-concertmaster J. Patrick Rafferty, performs the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto.
