Uzbek pianist Behzod Abduraimov (pictured) joins the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in a program that includes the famous “Pathétique Symphony.”

Founded in 1895 by British composer, conductor and organist Frederic Archer (1838-1901), the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is one of America’s oldest and most prestigious orchestras having performed around the world including a 2004 concert for Pope John Paul II (1920-2005).

“Pathétique” is the final completed symphony written by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). The work is full of sweeping melodies, passionate outbursts, and emotional extremes. It was first performed nine days before the composer’s death.
