Brahms 4

This compelling program takes us from Classical elegance to Romantic depth. Chevalier de Saint-Georges’s Symphony No. 1 opens with poise and charm, followed by Shostakovich’s searing Cello Concerto No. 1. The concert culminates in Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, a work of beauty, power, and weight that crowns our Classical series finale with profound emotion.

Ticketholders are invited to an entertaining and informative talk about the concert program beginning one hour before the performance.
