Bishop Gadsden - Blackmer Hall
The Gaillard Performing Arts Center
In 2024, the award-winning, celebrated violinist James Ehnes released Sibelius: Works for Violin and Orchestra. This recording includes the composer’s only violin concerto, which Ehnes will also perform in this concert with the CSO. Conductor Keitaro Harada leads two American ensembles, the Savannah Philharmonic and the Dayton Philharmonic (as of the 2025-26 season), in addition to his role as the Permanent Conductor of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.
“A violinist in a class of his own.”
– The Times
Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony, dedicated to a wealthy patroness he befriended but never met, explores humankind’s tumultuous bond with fate. The introduction is one of the most memorable in orchestral music. The music drips with emotion throughout the piece, with sounds ranging from melancholy and despair to dreamlike and whimsical. The message in the symphony’s lively, unmistakably Russian finale, he wrote to his financier client, was: “If you find no cause for joy in yourself, look to others.” Even though you can’t escape your fate, it seems to say, you will find that life goes on anyway.

With no intermission and a program designed for young attention spans, this concert is most enjoyed by audiences 5+ years old.
Vivaldi’s Iconic Masterpiece Meets Piazzolla’s Tango-Fueled Passion
Get ready to experience an electrifying musical showdown like no other! As part of the Charleston Symphony’s new chamber orchestra series at Sottile Theatre, the CSO’s brilliant violinists will take on each of Vivaldi’s epic seasons.
Written in the early 18th century, The Four Seasons remains one of the most popular and recognizable pieces ever composed. With its vivid melodic storytelling, Vivaldi painted bold soundscapes that capture the essence of each season—birdsong in spring, summer thunderstorms, harvest dances in autumn, and the icy stillness of winter.
The journey continues to 20th-century Buenos Aires with Ástor Piazzolla’s Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires). Blending classical technique with sultry tango rhythms, Piazzolla reinvents the idea of the seasons with fiery emotion, jazz influences, and Argentine soul.
