MARTÍN + HAMELIN + BRAHMS

Our picture of the Romantic era becomes more complete as we spotlight a composer long deserving of wider attention. Louise Farrenc’s Symphony No. 2 reveals a voice shaped by but distinct from her male contemporaries. Pianist Marc-André Hamelin joins Music Director Jaime Martín to conjure the tempestuous beauty of Brahms’s First Piano Concerto, a beloved work that foreshadows his future symphonic brilliance. In tandem, the two pieces offer a thrilling exploration of Romanticism’s expressive power.
