  "account": "The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) has kicked off its 2022 season with an unusual yet compelling pairing of Beethoven's Fifth and Tchaikovsky's Fifth symphonies. Conductor Daniel Raiskin sees the combination as a celebration of masterworks that have endured 100 years of scrutiny for their relevance. He notes the contrast between the two pieces, with Beethoven's Fifth portraying the force of nature and Tchaikovsky's Fifth exuding lyrical and intimate qualities.\n\nThe WSO's season-opener aims to showcase the orchestra's prowess and the richness of sonorities found in these classical masterpieces. It also serves as a chance for Winnipeggers to get acquainted with the orchestra's new composer-in-residence, Kelly-Marie Murphy, who will perform her new work, Dark Nights, Bright Stars, Vast Universe.",
