Event Details:
David Baker: Concertino for Cellular Phones and Symphony Orchestra
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5
Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1
"Phones on, please." David Baker's Concerti no for Cellular Phones and Orchestra transforms today's interruptions into instruments, folding modern life into the concert hall. From there, Beethoven's Emperor Concerto channels nobility and lyrical fire, performed by Sara Davis Buechner.
Brahms' First Symphony follows—not in Beethoven's shadow, but in conversation with it—unfolding with striking complexity that reveals his deep mastery of orchestral color and form.
