Brahms 2 + Shostakovich

Doors: 6:00 PM

Concert: 6:30 PM

Artists:

Eun Sun Kim, conductor

Johannes Moser, cello

 

Despite the distant threat of rain – β€œthe necessary shadow,” as the composer called it – Brahms’ Second Symphony is a sunny and idyllic work beloved for its rambunctious joy and its balance with that hint of cloud. Eun Sun Kim, a conductor of β€œassured technical command, subtlety and imagination” (New York Times), leads this program, which opens memorably with the β€œelectro-acoustic soundworld” of Mason Bates’ Rhapsody of Steve Jobs. Gramophone calls Johannes Moser β€œone of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists,” and there is no finer showcase of Moser’s musical prowess than Shostakovich’s boisterous and demanding First Cello Concerto.Β
