More about the concert: Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang is an artist "as ready to caress as to attack" (The Strad). In her DSO debut, she takes command in Korngold's gorgeously cinematic concerto.

Rachmaninoff & Brahms Live from Orchestra Hall webcast with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Hear Sharon Sparrow perform Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 in C minor during this Live from Orchestra Hall webcast with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra!

Link to view webcast: https://www.dso.org/watch/2835357

More about the concert: Simon Trpčeski brings a "fusion of mature interpretation and youthful passion" (The Telegraph, London) to a concerto Rachmaninoff started in his teens and revised later in life. It took Brahms over 20 years to complete his First Symphony, a genre-changing work of passion and unrelenting drive. Weber’s overture distills the drama of devilish pursuits down to a bright flash of orchestral fire.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Mahler's "Titan"

Gustav Mahler carried the symphony from its line of Romantic composers such as Beethoven, Berlioz, and Brahms. His first symphony, aptly named "Titan," set in motion his legacy as a symphonist with visions of nature, and a finale of thunderbolts and lightning. Speaking of titans, violinist Randall Goosby makes his DSO debut performing Mozart's Fifth Violin Concerto. The New York Times raved that in Goosby's Carnegie Hall debut he "exerted a masterly level of control and lavished an exquisite tone…his performance won him a deserved standing ovation for its sheer virtuosity."

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven Symphony No. 7

Beethoven regarded his Seventh Symphony as one of his best works. Its first audience enthusiastically welcomed its rhythmic energy and spontaneity. They also instantly demanded an encore of the second movement, a march-like procession among his most recognizable works. British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Symphonic Variations on an African Air showcases his vast sense of harmony, color, and scope of instrumentation in his largest purely orchestral work.
