YOSA Philharmonic To Close Season With Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5
Violinist Zhiwei Huang and YOSA Capriccio Strings perform at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts.
YOSA Philharmonic will bring its season to a close with Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, a gripping journey from darkness to triumph. This deeply moving work was born under the pressure of Soviet oppression and captures the resilience of the human spirit in the face of fear and control. Full of raw emotion, irony, and defiance, it continues to provoke and move listeners nearly a century after its premiere.
The concert also features Wiliam Walton's Crown Imperial, a march composed for a royal coronation, and a special solo performance by the winner of the 2025/26 YOSA Concerto Competition, violinist Zhiwei Huang, a graduating senior who'll be playing the finale of the Tchaikovsky. YOSA Capriccio Strings will also take the stage in this celebratory close to the season.
The musicians of the YOSA Philharmonic are the best young players in South Texas," said Troy Peters, YOSA Music Director and Philharmonic Conductor. "When their energy connects with the talent of our incredible guest artists, something truly special happens. Every concert feels like a spark. You can feel it in the room. That's what YOSA is all about, hanging kids' lives through music and helping them discover just how powerful they really are."
The performance will take place on Sunday, May 10 at The Tobin Center for Performing Arts located at 100 Auditorium Cir, San Antonio, TX. Tickets can be purchased at the YOSA Philharmonic webiste.
