Symphony season closes

The symphony’s season finale opens with Mozart’s stormy Overture to Don Giovanni and is followed by Johannes Brahms’ Nänie, a moving contemplation of the fleeting nature of life and beauty inspired by the poetry of Friedrich Schiller. The concert is crowned by a performance of one of the most cherished compositions in all of musical history—Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.
