WORLD PREMIERE; TCO COMMISSION

BRAHMS Symphony No. 4

The Cleveland Orchestra is renowned for its recordings and performances of the Brahms symphonies. Brahms’s Fourth and final symphony has been called “one of the supreme creative acts of the Romantic era” and enthralls listeners with tension between lyrical beauty, intense drama, and subdued melancholy. The piccolo gets a rare solo turn when the Orchestra’s principal piccolo, Mary Kay Fink, performs a dazzling work by Israeli composer Oded Zehavi commissioned especially for her.
