Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony, based on Byron’s dramatic semiautobiographical poem is among the composer’s most brilliant and affecting inspirations. Its themes of tender love and exquisite longing find a perfect complement in Scriabin’s fervid Poem of Ecstasy. The extraordinarily colorful orchestration reverberates with sensuality and intimate emotion.Tickets are available by calling 312-294-3000, visiting www.cso.org or the Box Office.
