Pathétique – it’s a funny name for a great symphony. But don’t be misled: it means ‘emotional’, and Tchaikovsky’s heart-rending final masterpiece is exactly that. Conductor Jonathan Bloxham will bring out its drama, its longing and its unforgettable melodies tonight. And he joins saxophone sensation Jess Gillam in a showcase created especially for her, inspired by a terrifying Irish legend – if you’ve heard Gillam on the radio, you’ll already know that she’s great company. But before all that, Dvořák’s Carnival Overture gets us off to a truly exuberant start.
