Tchaikovsky and Brahms

Chief Conductor Designate Tabita Berglund joins fearless American pianist Kirill Gerstein for a concert dominated by big statements from two giants of music history. Originally a piano sonata, then a symphony, and eventually a piano concerto – Brahms’s work was initially dismissed as a misfire. But successive generations have better understood its combination of grand drama and conversational interplay, and we’ve never been more ready to be swept along by the concerto’s combination of grandiose majesty and intimate beauty.
