Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra: An Evening of Brahms

Rossen Milanov, conductor Sharon Roffman, violin Jolyon Pegis, cello An Evening of Brahms brings together two of the composer’s most expressive works, pairing the lyrical intimacy of the Double Concerto with the concentrated power of Symphony No. 3. Written late in Brahms’s career, the Double Concerto unfolds as a rich conversation between violin and cello, as CSO concertmaster Sharon Roffman and principal cellist Jolyon Pegis share the spotlight. The program concludes with Brahms’s Third Symphony, a work of striking emotional depth. Together, these works reveal Brahms at his most personal and compelling. Program: Brahms Concerto for Violin and Cello Brahms Symphony No. 3
