About this concert
The Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra pairs Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet with Dvořák's emotionally charged Symphony No. 7, written amid personal grief, and features the winner of the 2027 Young Artist Competition performing a concerto. Music Director John Page leads the program and gives a pre-concert talk.
