Brahms Revealed Finale

It's the culmination of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's season-long festival, Brahms Revealed. In this concert, Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann probes the very nature of Brahms' orchestral output by leading the dexterous ensemble in two "symphonic" excursions.

Always, for soloists, the challenge of a Brahms concerto lies in the balance, stamina, and physical demands of a highly integrated and almost symphonic approach to concerto writing. This week, the ASO welcomes one of today's most sought-after players, Benjamin Grosvenor, to ride that wave, delivering a cataclysmic, yet alluringly tuneful adventure in the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1. Stutzmann brings the cycle to a satisfying conclusion with the ebullient Symphony No. 2.
