In Tchaikovksy's own words "...I wrote from compulsion. This is a piece from the heart..." The Serenade for Strings is charming and graceful throughout. Tchaikovsky's creativity clearly demonstrates the variety of sounds capable by a string ensemble.

 

Selected by Symphony magazine as an emerging artist to watch, Elena Urioste has been hailed by critics and audiences alike. In her first appearance with the Dubuque Symphony she will perform Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5.  The leading Mozart scholar of his generation, A.

 — John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

— Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
