Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra. Brahms and Mahler

PROGRAMME

Johannes Brahms
Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 1 in D major

DESCRIPTION

In November, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, led by its founder and principal conductor Gintaras Rinkevičius, will join ERSO for a special performance at the Estonia Concert Hall. The program will feature Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, a work whose origins trace back to the city of Kassel, where Mahler composed his first vocal cycle, Songs of a Wayfarer. The emotional landscape of that cycle flows seamlessly into his First Symphony, a connection the composer himself often acknowledged. Mahler’s symphony will be paired with Johannes Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1, performed by celebrated Lithuanian pianist Lukas Geniušas.
