Auckland Philharmonia: Best of Brahms

Child Policy: This performance is not suitable for children under six years old. Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver who attends the event with the child. Conductor --- Giordano Bellincampi Violin --- Andrew Beer Cello --- Ashley Brown Brahms --- Academic Festival Overture Brahms --- Double Concerto for Violin and Cello Brahms --- Symphony No.4 Brahms wrote his Double Concerto for two friends who'd played together for years and could read each other's musical minds. As is true for our Concertmaster Andrew Beer and our Principal Cello Ashley Brown (and of course our Music Director Giordano Bellincampi). And if the Academic Festival Overture is simply Brahms having uproarious fun, the great Fourth Symphony -- now stormy, now mysterious, now high-spirited -- is his summation of everything he knew from a lifetime in music.
