ABOUT THE SHOW

BRENDA AND STEVEN SCHICK COMMISSION
Johannes Brahms - Symphony No. 3
Michael Pisaro - Concerto for Amplified Percussion& Orchestra
Soloist: Greg Stuart, percussion
Brahms’ mighty Third Symphony manages also to be his most intimate and—some would say—his most beautiful symphony. The La Jolla Symphony has not played it for over a quarter of a century—come, listen fresh, and rediscover the wonders of this glorious music. We premiere two commissioned works: a new piece by emerging Iranian composer Anahita Abbasi, known for her electric and electro-acoustic works; and Michael Pisaro’s Concerto for Amplified Percussion, featuring extraordinary percussionist and frequent Pisaro collaborator, Greg Stuart.
