The Pacific Symphony's annual Tchaikovsky Spectacular sends their final summer season at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre out with a bang, including a fireworks finale set to the Russian composer's famed 1812 Overture. Led by Maestro Carl St.Clair, this year's concert features excerpts from two of Tchaikovsky's most famous ballets, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, along with his violin concerto, as performed by 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant winner and acclaimed chamber musician Paul Huang. Pianist Natasha Paremski, who made her debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 15, is also set to join the excitement with a performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Celebrate the end of an era under the stars with a seat that includes a picnic dinner.
