The legendary orchestra performs Tchaikovsky’s beloved “Pathétique” Symphony in the ensemble’s ninth UMS appearance since its 1972 debut.
In 1936, Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman persuaded first-chair musicians of Eastern European and German orchestras who had lost their jobs as a result of Nazism to immigrate to Palestine. In doing so, he created an “orchestra of soloists,” which continues to absorb new immigrants and to act as a global community for musicians from around the world. Its inaugural concert was conducted by Arturo Toscanini in solidarity with Huberman and the Jewish refugee musicians as a public rebuke of Adolf Hitler.
The program includes Ödön Pártos's Concertino for String Orchestra; Schubert's Symphony No. 3 in D Major, D. 200; and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in b minor, Op. 74 “Pathétique.”
