Come celebrate Anton Bruckner’s 200th birthday as we perform one of the most important romantic composers of all time. Bruckner’s heroic 4th symphony premiered 150 years ago and has since become his most famous. Also joining us will be a Gilmore Young Artist winner to perform Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto. The program will open with an overture by composer Grażyna Bacewicz.
