Two classical masterpieces await!

You’ll first hear Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto N° 5, before switching to another N° 5: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. The latter explores the theme of fate, dark and relentless, but ultimately leads us towards a brighter conclusion – an illustration of music’s ability to turn pain into hope.
