Violin Concerto and 2nd Symphony

Part of the The Outcry Ensemble: Brahms Symphony Cycle 2023

Add to my Calendar 26-02-2023 18:30 26-02-2023 20:30 36 Brahms Symphony Cycle After their acclaimed performance of Brahms’ Requiem and the great success of their Beethoven Symphony cycle in 2021, The Outcry Ensemble are delighted to return to St Johns' Smith Square. Known for their intense and committed playing, The Outcry Ensemble's concerts have rapidly become known for their immersive and emotional experience. Each concert features a pre-concert talk given by the conductor and founder, James Henshaw, where the music is explained and explored. The Festival is a wonderful opportunity to go on a musical journey through Brahms' works with the Orchestra. A previous highlight of The Outcry Ensemble was the Beethoven 251 Festival where many audience members experienced the legendary German composer’s nine symphonies for the first time. The theme of their second concert in a series is Joy. The violin Concerto is a favourite of the repertoire filled with joy and light. The second symphony with its Alpine themes and sunny disposition is the perfect pairing. The Festival is in aid of young orchestral musicians who are still struggling from Covid-19 despite more than 18 months of "life as normal". The Festival is a wonderful opportunity to go on a musical journey through Brahms' works with the Orchestra and think that audiences gain the most from a festival like this by all four concerts. For those who come to all 4 concerts there is a 15% discount. St John's Smith Square, London DD/MM/YYYY
