Brahms and Beethoven in Santa Cruz


BOLD & BEAUTIFUL

BEETHOVEN
Symphony No. 4

BRAHMS
Piano Concerto
Jon Nakamatsu, Pianist (read his bio here)

Santa Cruz County Symphony
John Larry Granger, Conductor

No two composers reflect the heart and soul of symphonic music more than Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms. With his own stamp of dramatic human energy, Beethoven from the first movement moves us with carefree abandon from the restraints of the Classical era to the delights of newly found Romanticism. Brahms expands Beethoven’s harmonic and rhythmic language in his profound First Piano Concerto, performed for us by Van Cliburn winner, Jon Nakamatsu.

Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, January 30, 8pm
Mello Center, Watsonville, January 31, 2pm
