MOZART Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra in C Major
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1

Brahms wrestled with self-doubt and frustration for 21 years while composing his Symphony No. 1 — an artistic battle we can hear in the roar of sound that opens the work. Amid the drama and angst, however, Brahms’ symphony also showcases his gentler side, journeying through moments of heavenly lyricism and playful dances before ending in a brassy blaze of triumph.  

Two of the most enchanting orchestral voices share the spotlight in Mozart’s Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra, a work inspired by the bubbly French music the composer heard while living in Paris. Overflowing with melodies of gentle beauty, tranquility and charm, Mozart’s musical confection is brought to life by DSO principals David Buck and Emily Levin.
