Masterworks 5

Gather around for a familiar tale. Throughout time people have united to hear a good yarn. Some of history’s greatest composers have also achieved master storyteller status. Bizet’s operatic blockbuster has enraptured since its premiere. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto fascinates with its bewitching narrative. And Maxime Goulet’s enchanting Ice Storm Symphony tells the tale of a generational weather event that brought Eastern Canada to a standstill in 1998.
