FRANZ SCHUBERT SYMPHONY NO. 8 "UNFINISHED"
JOHANNES BRAHMS DOUBLE CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN & CELLO
SARAH OFF, VIOLIN
MATTHEW D'ORDINE, CELLO
The 1800s must have been a difficult time to be a composer. Writing music in the wake of Beethoven was perilous, bold, and downright daring. Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms were two of the most successful and engaging masters who overcame Beethoven's shadow and propelled music forward.
In true form to Boulder Symphony's season title "Inspiration Interrupted," Schubert's Unfinished Symphony leaves the creative mind hanging, while the Brahms' Double Concertocompletes the circle.
Featuring Boulder Symphony's own Matthew D'Ordine on cello alongside violinist Sarah Off, this duet of two contrasting string voices paints the beauty inherent in the music of Brahms.
