Programme Note
A concert for musical connoisseurs, but also for everyone! New Zealand virtuoso, Benjamin Baker, returns to MSO with Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular Violin Concerto. Dvořák’s wonderfully crafted Symphonic Variations manage to be immediately appealing, yet curiously, rather neglected. Brahms’s 2nd Symphony was an instant success, moving from musical light to darkness, and then back again, with a consummate mix of joy and profundity.
