Brahms + Shostakovich

About this event

Witness a musical meeting of minds when two supreme soloists share the stage with a world-class orchestra. With every appearance, the shattering virtuosity of violinist Veronika Eberle wows Atlantans. This time she teams up with the charismatic cellist Johannes Moser for Brahms' soulfully melodic Double Concerto. Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann whips up some sardonic hijinks in Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9. The concert opens with a nod to Greek mythology. Missy Mazzoli serves up jagged and layered rhythms in Orpheus Undone, while Gluck's 18th-century Orpheus offers the sublime "Dance of the Blessed Spirits."
