A myriad of eclectic instruments—including pots, pans, and metal gadgets—accompany world-renowned percussionist Colin Currie and his acclaimed BPO ensemble in performing Danny Elfman’s offbeat, idiosyncratic Percussion Concerto, composed without brass or woodwinds. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, once plagued by poor reviews and personal self-doubt, endures as a beloved, emotionally lyrical masterpiece, proving its timeless appeal.
