Friday the 13th won’t be scary AT ALL when conductor Sarah Hicks and violist Sam Bergman take the stage to inform and entertain us with their uniquely insightful and humorous introduction to Brahms Symphony No. 1 during the first half of that night’s concert! After intermission, the full MN Orchestra performs this complex, difficult and evocative (yet tuneful and accessible) masterpiece to life for us.
Brahms said that it took him more than 20 years to write this monumental symphony (completed in 1876), from first sketches to the final score. What an experience it will be to get inside it with musicians who have long-studied and mastered its intricacies.
Do you have friends who “aren’t sure” about classical music or are slightly afraid of it? This might be JUST the concert for them – you might even want to buy a Casual Pass (more about that below) and use multiple vouchers to bring them along with you!
