Picturesque Grandeur
February 20, 2027 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Think of the opening, natural-world charm of Delius’ On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring as a tasty appetizer for the following full-immersion feast of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4. Subtitled “Romantic,” this great and massive work evokes a storied thread of medieval scenes – breaking dawn, knights on horseback and forest hunts – yet echoes landscapes so lush, vast, emotionally rich and resonant this joie de vivre journey becomes transcendent.
