About this Performance
Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony embodies a profound journey, rife with dramatic orchestral color, tumultuous emotions, and passionate themes of fate and triumph. Percussionist-turned-conductor Gustavo Gimeno leads the symphony after guiding the orchestra through the suspenseful brass-filled suite of love and obsession from Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo before a world premiere spotlighting two of the LA Phil’s own when Principal Percussionist Matthew Howard performs the new concerto by Principal Timpanist and composer Joseph Pereira.
