Brahms and Dvoř�k's Masterworks Featured at The Pavilion Sept. 15 

 

Join the Houston Symphony at The Pavilion Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. as Maestro Hans Graf leads the symphony in a program titled Brahms' Violin Concerto featuring special guest James Ehnes on violin. Tickets are $15 for orchestra seating. Lawn and mezzanine seating are free courtesy of The Wortham Foundation. This event also is sponsored in part by CultureMap. Tickets are not required for free seating. Gates open at 7 p.m.

 

The program begins with Brahms' impassioned and capricious Violin Concerto in D major. This Violin Concerto, dedicated to Brahms' dear friend and legendary violinist Joseph Joachim, is one of his most tender works with lyrical melodies, brilliant technical fireworks and a sprinkle of Hungarian folk rhythms.

Hans Graf 

Joining the symphony on this piece is violinist James Ehnes, widely considered one of the most dynamic and exciting performers in classical music. Following a brief intermission, Dvoř�k's Symphony No. 6 concludes the classical evening. Symphony No. 6 was one of the first of Dvoř�k's large symphonic works to draw international attention.  Dedicated to Hans Richter, conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the time, the four-movement piece manages to capture a bit of Czech national style within a standard Germanic classical-romantic form.   

 

At the performance, have a picnic in your seat or on the hill. Free lawn chairs are available for this and other applicable performing arts events. Keep in mind that beverages cannot be brought into The Pavilion. Come early for pre-concert activities starting at 7 p.m. A list of activities is below.
