A concert experience by United Soloists Orchestra
You know his music. You've heard it in films, in commercials, in figure skating. You've hummed it without knowing his name. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote some of the most emotionally powerful music ever created — and this evening, you'll discover why.
This is not a typical classical concert.
No long academic introductions. No endless movements. It is a curated, live-on-stage playlist of Tchaikovsky's most powerful, emotional, and unforgettable music — performed by the United Soloists Orchestra, designed to captivate both the lifelong classical fan and the first-time listener.
A journey through Tchaikovsky's universe in short, vivid chapters. Extracts from his ballets, concertos, and symphonies — each piece between 3 and 8 minutes, each one a world of its own. Between the music, the conductor will share stories and curious facts about the composer's life — moments of drama, love, and genius that shaped these melodies. You'll never listen to Tchaikovsky the same way again.
Set list:
Swan Lake — but not as you've heard it before. Artistic director Arseniy Shkaptsov has created a special symphonic arrangement that goes beyond the two standard suites. Hidden within the full three-hour ballet are melodies of extraordinary beauty that concert audiences almost never hear. This evening, they come to life — 40 minutes of the most captivating music Tchaikovsky ever wrote for the stage.
USO is a Swiss ensemble that has cracked the code on making orchestral music genuinely exciting and culturally relevant for contemporary audiences. Founded in 2017 in Ticino, the orchestra brings together active soloists and musicians from Europe's most prestigious ensembles who share a vision: symphonic music should not be museumified. Their identity is built on strategic genre fluidity — mixing classical masterworks with high-quality symphonic arrangements of pop and rock. This is not a gimmick; it's an artistic statement about what orchestral music can be in the 21st century.
