MATTHIAS PINTSCHER NUR
JOHANNES BRAHMS Symphony No. 2
Music Director Matthias Pintscher is not only a conductor, but also one of the world’s foremost composers of orchestral music. Hear one of Matthias’ orchestral works for the first time in Kansas City at this concert! Conrad Tao, who joined the Symphony on our first European tour in 2024, plays Matthias’ piece Nur, the Hebrew and Arabic word for “fire.” Brahms’ Second Symphony is a work of dramatic contrasts — from tranquil to rambunctious, mysterious to melancholy, idyllic to triumphant.
