BARBER Essay No. 2
BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 4
SCHUMANN Symphony No. 3, “Rhenish”
Due to the tragic onset of deafness, Beethoven made a farewell tour as soloist with his Fourth Piano Concerto. Guest conductor Johannes Debus leads the Symphony and piano prodigy Eric Lu for the extraordinary Fourth Concerto — a blend of haunting lyricism, technical finesse and musical innovation. Schumann’s Third Symphony, created during one of the happiest periods in his career, captures the simple joys of life from time spent in the Rhineland. Barber’s Second Essay for orchestra displays the composer’s gifts for brilliant counterpoint and powerful orchestration. Tickets from $25.
