Tchaikovsky wrote the 1812 Overture for a commemorative celebration, never imagining it would become one of his most popular works. He thought of it as ceremonial, but audiences connected with its drama and that unmistakable, triumphant finale. Hear Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture tonight on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
