He was proclaimed by Robert Schumann to “take over the mantle of Beethoven” and most agree he did just that. Join us as we explore two of the truly great works by one of our truly great masters, Johannes Brahms.

We begin with the Academic Festival Overture of which Brahms himself referred to as “a jolly potpourri of student songs…” Next we welcome Judith Ingolfsson, Gold Medalist of the 1998 prestigious International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. She will perform the lush and tuneful violin concerto of Samuel Barber, for which Miss Ingolfsson has received rave reviews the world over. We complete the program with one of Brahms’s most powerful works, his Symphony No. 1 in C minor. It took Brahms 14 years to complete this masterpiece. Be sure to join us to see (and hear) why!
