About this Concert:
Our season launches with Brahms at his most lush and Tchaikovsky at his most virtuosic, with superstar Joshua Bell adding the fireworks.

- Osmo Vänskä, conductor
- Joshua Bell, violin
LEVIN
Blur
TCHAIKOVSKY
Violin Concerto
BRAHMS
Symphony No. 2
More Details:
- Levin’s 2004 Blur is a fun jolt to the system—full of big percussion.
- Joshua Bell’s concerts always sell out, but the most talked-about gig of his career remains his undercover busking at a Washington, DC metro stop.
- Brahms Symphony No. 2 is sunny and warm and has one of the most electrifying endings in all of classical music.
