CHRISTIAN KLUXEN, conductor

Brahms, Violin Concerto

Schubert, Symphony No. 8 (“Unfinished”)

Stravinsky, Firebird Suite (1919)

Two years of cancelled plans and shifting waves have left us with an appreciation for work interrupted. In our season opening we include Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony No. 8 – and challenge audiences to decide for themselves whether it is incomplete or utter perfection. Alongside it, we take a celebratory turn, with Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite raising us up, while Concertmaster Terence Tam inspires with Brahms’ virtuosic Violin Concerto.
