Symphony Silicon Valley opens 2019-2020 Season with Tchaikovsky, Oct 5-6 in San Jose

Symphony Silicon Valley’s season opens with a richly exotic, song-filled work by Zoltán Kodály. Based on a Hungarian folk tune, its variations set a festive mood. That mood shifts in the second half with Tchaikovsky’s deeply emotional final symphony. The composer heard only its first, poorly received performance; but its second was a triumph, and this symphony remains one of his most celebrated and beloved.

 PROGRAM:

Conductor: Carlos Vieu

Carlos Vieu graduated from La Plata National University in his native Argentina, where he studied conducting with Guillermo Scarabino.  After receiving a scholarship from the Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), he went to Venezuela to study El Systema, the innovative music education program and association of youth orchestras, and conducted several orchestras while there. Vieu also studied in Barcelona with Antoni Ros Marbá and attended masterclasses with Kurt Masur, Charles Dutoit, Helmuth Rilling, Romano Gandolfi and others.
