Tchaikovsky was born into a modest family on the bottom rank of the Russian aristocracy. His father was a mining engineer and after an early education from a French governess, Tchaikovsky was sent to the School of Jurisprudence. On graduation, he began working at the Ministry of Justice but a few years later enrolled at the newly opened St Petersburg Conservatory.

The programme traces... his career and ends with a brief overview of his works. [show more]
