Fast-rising young conductor Joshua Weilerstein leads this afternoon’s concert and a programme that includes Brahms fourth and final symphony.
This afternoon's concert begins with Beethoven’s beloved Egmont overture; a powerfully emotional piece about a sixteenth century Dutch nobleman.
Former Pulitzer Prize for Music winner Caroline Shaw's string piece ·¡²Ô³Ù°ù’a³¦³Ù±ð, composed in 2011 was inspired by Haydn’s Op. 77 No. 2. Originally scored for string quartet, today it will be performed by the rich sound of a string orchestra.
Written in the 2 years following his Third, the rich complexity of Brahms’s Symphony No. 4 represents the full flowering of the German symphonic tradition in all its depth and opulence.
Brahms Intermezzo in E flat Op 117 No 1 arranged by Austrian musician and composer Paul Klengel is a short work that brings the concert to a close.
