Intimidated in part by the shadow of Beethoven, German composer Johannes Brahms took 21 years to complete his First Symphony. But he made it worth the wait; Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 is a revered masterpiece that grows out of the tradition of Beethoven while also forging a new path. Join us for an engaging performance and presentation supported by demos from the orchestra, conductor analysis and colorful visual enhancements. Together we will delve into this powerfully moving work and the genius behind it.
