Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Hadelich Plays Brahms

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Hadelich Plays Brahms at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

A Friday morning at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall offers a program built on contrasts. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Hadelich Plays Brahms brings conductor Jader Bignamini, violinist Augustin Hadelich, and a schedule that moves from Richard Wagner's Forest Murmurs through Carlos Simon's Wake Up! Concerto for Orchestra to Johannes Brahms's Violin Concerto in D Major on Friday, February 19, 2027, at 10:45 AM. Each work asks for a different kind of attention, and together they make a case for spending your morning with live strings, brass, and a soloist whose reputation precedes him.

Simon's Wake Up! promises energy and forward motion. The composer describes his concerto for orchestra as electrifying, music that pulls listeners into active engagement rather than passive comfort. Bring someone who wants more than the expected repertoire.

Brahms's Violin Concerto in D Major anchors the second half, with Hadelich as soloist. The work's technical demands and emotional range have made it a benchmark for violinists, and Hadelich's searching musical mind gives the concerto a distinct interpretive voice. Wagner's Forest Murmurs opens the morning with lyrical orchestral color, setting the stage for what follows. The program rewards listeners who come ready to move between moods and styles.
