Sapporo Symphony Orchestra 660th Subscription Concert Unofficial

The 660th Regular Concert
Opening conductor Kentaro Kawase will perform two "symphonies" from the late 19th century. No. 2," written by the American composer Ives in his early twenties, 150 years after his birth, is a symphony in a modern yet classical style, incorporating hymns, folk songs, and various other music popular in the United States at the time. Tchaikovsky's "No. 4," on the other hand, is a late masterpiece that breaks away from the Russian nationalistic style of his earlier works. Each piece seems to reflect the social environment and soil that nurtured them.
