Nicknamed “Beethoven’s Tenth”, Brahms’s monumental First Symphony is a grandiose gesture of emotion embroidered with rich woodwind harmonies, thundering timpani, and raucous brass. Spotlight Artist Emily D’Angelo sings a suite of stunning vocal works by centuries of composers, plus a new work by TSO RBC Affiliate Composer Alison Yun-Fei Jiang opens the performance.
