September 30th
Conductor Andrew Grams joins NWS for another sold-out performance. Known for his fresh interpretations of Ludwig van Beethoven’s piano works, Leif Ove Andsnes shines in the composer’s final, majestic concerto, “The Emperor.” With roaring percussion and brass, Olly Wilson pays homage to the Nigerian god of thunder. For a whirlwind finale led by conductor Andrew Grams, Brahms’ Piano Quartet was given a symphonic makeover in the hands of Arnold Schoenberg, who dubbed it “Brahms’ Fifth Symphony.”
Didn’t get tickets? Join us in October when Stéphane Denève returns to conduct Mozart’s Grand Partita and Prokofiev’s Romeo + Juliet.
