Getting away for the winter
Peter Tchaikovsky loved to visit Florence, Italy, especially in the winter. After one trip to the warm, sunny Tuscan city, he returned home with the idea for a new work. "Souvenir of Florence" was born of that winter getaway. Douglas Boyd leads the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in concert, on a chilly January evening in St. Paul.
