Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor
Brahms Symphony No. 3
Brahms Symphony No. 4
Program Notes
Hear one of Europe’s most historic orchestras, Staatskapelle Berlin. Founded in 1570, this ensemble, led by The Philadelphia Orchestra’s very own music and artistic director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, brings centuries of excellence to Philadelphia. Witness as they perform Brahms’s passionate Symphony No. 3 and his tragic Symphony No. 4. Staatskapelle Berlin’s performances of these symphonies “embody deeper memories and seek out larger horizons, as Brahms himself did when he created these astonishing works” (Gramophone).
Due to health reasons, Daniel Barenboim unfortunately had to withdraw from this performance.
Please note: The Philadelphia Orchestra does not perform on this concert.
