Brahms Symphony No. 1

Pasadena’s Classical season opens with quite possibly the best first symphony ever written – placing Brahms in his rightful place as one of the world’s most beloved musical geniuses whose works stand the test of time. Tessa Lark, “an accomplished and expressive artist worthy of all the fuss,” (Albany Times Union) will delight audiences with Bruch’s playfully acrobatic and virtuosic Violin Concerto, plus hear a new commission worthy of a grand opening night!
