Standing at the apex of German Romanticism, Johannes Brahms is one of the titans. Alongside Bach and Beethoven (together famously known as the ‘three Bs’), he is a central figure in music. Combining diligent construction and meticulous craftsmanship with a soul of heartfelt Romantic longing, his works are among the most personal expressions of human emotion ever penned for orchestra.

Brahms pondered his first symphony for 14 years, yet the long gestation paid off, for in it and the three more which followed he created a new future for the Symphony. Over two special performances, David Atherton gives us the chance to explore every note of these four masterpieces, under the baton of a master interpreter who is known and loved by Hong Kong audiences.
 

Following the death in July of Maestro Lorin Maazel, David Atherton has kindly agreed to take up the baton at short notice and conduct the orchestra for this concert, and the advertised repertoire will remain unchanged. Please click here for the complete notice from the HK Phil.
