“It is as though one lay in springtime among the blossoming flowers, and joy and sorrow filled one’s soul in turn,” said Clara Schumann upon hearing the beginning of Brahms’ Fourth Symphony. Guest conductor David Danzmayr leads this transcendent symphony as well as Saint-Saëns’ dazzlingly energetic Second Piano Concerto, performed here by one of the best pianists of his generation, Stewart Goodyear. The program opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Strum, which the Washington Post declared to be “turbulent, wildly colorful and exploding with life.”
Each ticket purchase also grants access to the recording of Thursday's live performance. If you would prefer to attend the virtual concert only, see the full list of virtual concerts or purchase a Virtual Concerts package here.
