Tchaikovsky!

Enter the haunting, majestic world of Tchaikovsky.

Gig Caritas presents an afternoon concert steeped in drama, beauty, and emotional intensity.

At the heart of the programme are two towering works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:

Swan Lake Suite — a shimmering, dreamlike sequence of dances, drawn from the composer’s iconic ballet. Beneath the elegance lies a story of enchantment, longing, and transformation.

Symphony No. 5 — one of Tchaikovsky’s most powerful symphonic statements. From shadowy despair to blazing triumph, it is a journey of fate, resilience, and catharsis.

The concert opens with a lively overture by Nicolai — a brief spark before the emotional depth of the Tchaikovsky begins.

With maestro Keith Horsfall leading the Gig Caritas Orchestra, expect an electrifying performance that blurs the line between theatre and concert hall.

Whether you're a lifelong lover of classical music or curious to experience its darker, more seductive side, Classical Chills offers a spellbinding escape just as the season turns.

Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Dudley Salvation Army Christmas Toy Appeal, which helps to spread the joy of Christmas to families whose children would otherwise not receive a gift.
