The VYSO are joining forces with the Bluestone Ensemble for an ambitious mission of rehearsing and performing Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony in (almost) a single day! The symphony is an emotional rollercoaster, including all emotions from pride, joy and elation to utter despair and heart-wrenching sorrow.

Tchaikovsky's final symphony was his proudest achievement, communicated often through his letters to his family members. Labelled as 'pathétique' (translating to passionate or emotional), takes the orchestra and its listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions, from boisterous pride, constrained joy to painful despair. He had succumbed to cholera only some days after he premiered the symphony, so was this symphony something of a personal musical requiem? This caused great controversy for many years.

This concert is in collaboration with the Victorian Youth Symphony Orchestra and will be a great showcase of the talent in Melbourne's community music scene.
