Concert Description

The great strength and nobility of Brahms’s fourth and final symphony places it among his supreme masterworks. Conductor Simone Young, praised for her Brahms performances, makes her Detroit debut on this exciting program—which also includes Webern’s early, romantic Passacaglia and Haydn’s Concerto for Two Horns (featuring DSO musicians Karl Pituch and Johanna Yarbrough).
