Tchaikovsky’s whirling fantasia, based on a passage in Dante’s Inferno, vividly depicts the harsh, unceasing winds of hell that fade to a whisper as a solo clarinet launches Francesca’s pathetic tale. Jean Sibelius also mused on Dante’s work when composing his Second Symphony, one of the most beloved works of the 20th century. There is a pre-concert talk one hour before each performance. Tickets start at $15.
