Concluding this concert is Johannes Brahms’ Second Serenade for Orchestra. This unique chamber orchestra work focuses heavily on violas. Brahms relies on the darker timbre of the lower strings and winds, yet there still remains the unmistakable Romantic charm of the 19th century.
In a stimulating discussion, Northwestern University musicology professor Jesse Rosenberg illuminates the cultural and musical worlds of the Romantic Era, a special enhancement to the typical concert experience.
