Emanuel Ax Performs Brahms
The Music Center at Strathmore 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Maryland 20852-3385
Distinguished pianist Emanuel Ax returns to perform Brahms’ mighty Second Piano Concerto, notable for its formidable demands. A scintillating work by Finnish-born composer Lotta Wennäkoski, Hava, is paired with Schubert’s Sixth Symphony, which ranges from the majestic thunder of his idol, Beethoven, to a light-as-air operatic finale.
