| Description | Continuing its distinctive commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein’s birth, the University Symphony presents Bernstein’s compelling Symphony No. 2, “The Age of Anxiety”, which was inspired by W.H. Auden’s poem of the same name. Artist-in-Residence Daniel Pesca is the featured soloist in this hauntingly beautiful work. Also on the program is Johannes Brahms’ masterful Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68, a piece that took the German master over fourteen years to complete (or, as the composer himself stated, a full 21 years from initial sketches to finishing touches). Program: Presto Barbaro from On the Waterfront......Leonard Bernstein Symphony No. 2, The Age of Anxiety..........Leonard Bernstein Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68.............Johannes Brahms Pre-concert lecture with Professor of Music Thomas Christensen in the McCormick Tribune Lounge at 7 PM |
