Brahms Odyssey
California Symphony Orchestra conducted by Donato Cabrera - The Lesher Center for the Arts
Program Info: Explore the orchestra with Britten's lively guide, Bates' modern movie tour, and Brahms' emotive final symphony.
What’s Interesting About This Concert Fun for people of all ages, Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra uses a catchy theme to introduce different instruments in the orchestra one by one, making it a great way to learn about the symphony. Former Resident Composer Mason Bates invokes the spirit of Disney’s classic Fantasia in his Grammy-winning concerto for orchestra and animated film, guided by a mischievous sprite. Brahms’ fourth and final symphony is a deeply emotional, poignant masterpiece. Even though he lived on for more than a decade after its premiere, it was the last symphony Brahms ever wrote and many consider it to be the pinnacle of his career.
Benjamin Britten - Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, opus 34: composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonrise Kingdom Mason Bates - Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra Johannes Brahms - Symphony No.4
