Season Finale
May 5
Christopher Cohan Center
What better way to end the Symphony’s 2011-2012 Classics season than with two of the “Three B’s”? Beethoven’s passionate second piano concerto was actually written first, but published later after many revisions. Norman Krieger will bring the master’s vision to life and you’ll see that it was well worth the wait. Brahms joked mischievously that his second symphony was “so melancholy that you will not be able to bear it” but you’ll find that its bright cheerfulness will end the season on a high note!
