BRAHMS TWO: LOVERS & THE LULLABY

PERFORMANCE DETAILS

SERIES: Brahms Celebration, Discovery

Pre-concert Entertainment: 7:05pm
Post-concert: Afterthoughts

Optimistic and pastoral, the Second Symphony gracefully follows the frenzy that surrounded the First, while the most famous “cradle song” of all-time affirms the ubiquitous lullaby’s appeal. Further exploring the alleged love triangle with the Schumanns, additional complementary works from both Clara and Robert complete the program.
