Brahms Above All

Immerse yourself in the timeless genius of Johannes Brahms with an evening of sweeping orchestral masterworks. The program begins with the exuberant Academic Festival Overture conducted by Simon Charette, a bold, brass-filled celebration of student life and youthful joy. Acclaimed pianist Timur Mustakimov* then takes the stage for Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, a monumental work of lyrical beauty, virtuosic fire and symphonic power. The evening concludes with the radiant Symphony No. 2 in D Major, a pastoral masterpiece that glows with warmth, serenity and melodic grace.

From festive fanfare to profound expression, this all-Brahms program promises an unforgettable journey through the heart of Romanticism.
