Agony and Ecstasy - Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra
Date: March 21st, 8:00 PM
Location: Martingrove Collegiate Institute 50 Winterton Drive

The following is taken from the EPO website:
"Deeply moving works that will be cathartic for you, as they were for their composers across three different centuries. Brahms said his Tragic Overture “weeps” and, 140 years later, Simon Rivet elicits the same feeling in his hauntingly beautiful “Ellipse of a Cry”. Shostakovich untangles a range of powerful emotions as a Russian under Stalin through his Symphony No. 10." Johannes Brahms Tragic Overture, Op. 81 Simon Rivet Ellipse of a Cry Dmitri Shostakovich Symphony No. 10 in E minor, Op. 93 |

"Schumann’s “Spring Symphony” No. 1 and Alice Ho’s “Jubilations of Spring” are perfect pieces to re-energize and revive our spirits, reflecting this time of growth and fresh starts.
