From Darkness to Light: Brahms's Symphony No. 1

About this event

Storm clouds gather, then they break. Samuel Coleridge‑Taylor’s Ballade sweeps listeners on a wild orchestral journey. Pianist Fabian Müller makes his DSO debut with Mozart, whose music “feels like taking a bath in spiritual water.” And Markus Stenz takes us on a journey from darkness to light in Brahms’s First Symphony, reaching incandescent heights, hymn soaring. | Join us for a pre-concert talk 1 hour before most performances. Pre-concert Talk Join us one hour prior to most classical performances for a 30-minute pre-concert talk. Pre-concert talks are an opportunity for conductors, musicians, and other experts to share more about the music and enhance your connection to the evening's program. You will get a glimpse into the composer's inspiration, the story behind a work, what to look for in a soloist's performance, and more! With a deeper understanding of the music, your symphony experience will be more engaging and even more memorable. Please note, our pre-concert talks are scheduled for every PVS Classical Series performance, except Friday morning Coffee Concerts. Insider tip: Seating for pre-concert talks is general admission in Orchestra Hall. Try out a different seat or section from your ticket for a new perspective.
