Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Hadelich Plays Brahms

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

Detroit Symphony Orchestra presents a February program built around contrast and virtuosity. On Saturday, February 20, 2027, at 8:00 PM, conductor Jader Bignamini leads the ensemble at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall, pairing contemporary orchestral force with Brahms's demanding romanticism.

Carlos Simon's Wake Up! Concerto for Orchestra promises the kind of electrifying pull that makes you sit forward. The contemporary work directs its orchestral colors toward momentum and alertness, offering a vivid contrast to the evening's other anchor. Then Augustin Hadelich takes on Brahms's Violin Concerto in D Major, a piece described as offering a lifetime of discovery for the searching mind. Hadelich's virtuosity meets Brahms's intricate violin writing, giving you a chance to hear one of the repertoire's most celebrated concertos performed live by a soloist known for technical command and interpretive depth.

The program opens with Richard Wagner's Forest Murmurs, a brief orchestral scene that sets the stage before Simon and Brahms take over. Come ready for the full arc: a Romantic prelude, a contemporary concerto for orchestra, and a violin concerto that rewards close attention. Bring someone who appreciates the interplay of new orchestral music and established masterworks, and who wants to experience Hadelich's artistry in person.
