Brahms’ 1st Symphony

Roaring brass heralds the beginning of our 75th season with Wagner, followed by a lush and soothing intermezzo from Mascagni, and the incessant heavenly crescendo of Ravel’s Bolero. Tension fills the air with the exquisite drama of Brahms’ 1st Symphony until soaring strings and distant alpine horn-calls announce the Beethoven-esque heroic finale of your new favorite symphonic masterpiece.

Wagner - Die Meistersinger von Nürenberg Overture
Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana Intermezzo
Ravel - Bolero
Brahms - Symphony No. 1
