The Wild and the Tame

Kendall Square Orchestra presents “The Wild and The Tame” as it opens its doors for the 2025–2026 season. Kauyumari Brahms Double Concerto, Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6, will be performed by musicians Kristo Kondakçi, conductor; Sophia Szokolay, violinist; Alan Toda-Ambaras, cellist; and Gabriela Ortiz.

This is a program that explores music at its most vivid and profound. Gabriela Ortiz’s Kauyumari dances with luminous color and rhythmic vitality, drawing on the Huichol legend of the Blue Deer as a guide through uncharted soundscapes. Brahms’s Double Concerto, with Sophia Szokolay and Alan Toda-Ambaras, offers a rare and intimate dialogue between violin and cello. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 closes the evening in a sweep of passion, tenderness and deep reflection—a work that continues to move and astonish listeners more than a century after its premiere.
