Bruckner Bicentennial: Symphony No. 4
āLook, how brightly the universe shines! Splendour falls on everything aroundā¦ā Schoenbergās chromatic and stunningly beautiful Transfigured Night draws inspiration from a poem about a woman harboring a dark secret and the man who loves her enough to forgive her. 2024 marks Schoenbergās 150th birthday, as well as Brucknerās 200th; this program continues the anniversary celebrations with some of the best-loved of Brucknerās music, his Fourth Symphony. The hunt is on in this āRomanticā Symphony, which begins with daybreak and puts the horn section to work during its lively āHunting of the Hare.ā Music Director Peter Oundjian calls this inspired concert āthe most beautiful program of the summer.ā
