How does fate shape us? Carlos Simon takes a journal entry by Beethoven as the jumping off point for a work that explores the unpredictable ways of providence, while Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky channels personal crises and his own admiration for Beethoven into a fate-filled tour de force, the Fourth Symphony. Hope makes its presence known courtesy of Samuel Barber’s lyrical and openhearted Violin Concerto.
