Max Bruch
Violin Concerto No. 1

Johannes Brahms
Symphony No. 4 in E minor

You remember the “Three B’s” from elementary music class, right?  Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms.  Well, we have our own twist on the “Three B’s” in November when the ASO stomps, shimmies, and swings through Bernstein’s brash dances from his 1944 hit musical On the Town and young sensation Chad Hoopes takes the stage to play Bruch’s brilliant Violin Concerto No. 1.  We will continue our survey of the symphonies of Brahms with his final essay – the powerful and stirring Symphony No. 4.  It’s an evening of B’s likely to change your idea of who should belong in the Pantheon of B’s!
