| BRAHMS AND BRUCH |
| JAN 26 | FRI 8:00PM JAN 27 | SAT 8:00PM Franz Welser-Möst, conductor “I shall never write a symphony,” Brahms said when young. Fearful of the inevitable comparisons to Beethoven, it took Brahms 14 years to produce his First Symphony. With its rich melodies and colorful orchestrations, audiences joyfully dubbed it “Beethoven’s Tenth,” in part because the great melody of the finale resembles the “Ode to Joy.” Renowned violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider joins the Orchestra for Bruch’s popular First Violin Concerto.
