Brahms' Second Symphony June 19, 2009

Leonard Slatkin returns to lead performances of Brahms’ gently evocative Symphony No. 2. With its waltzing rhythms and pastoral, sunny mood, it’s the perfect summer soundtrack. A popular favorite, Bruch’s expressive Violin Concerto will feature rising talent Karen Gomyo. We’ll also revisit Joan Tower’s Made in America, a stirring work that earned three GRAMMY® Awards in 2008, including an award for Best Orchestral Performance by the Nashville Symphony.
