Public

Rinaldo, op. 50 IJB 104

The Alto Rhapsody, Op. 53

Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, op. 68

Approved

Award-winning mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, artistic director of Bard Conservatory’s Graduate Vocal Arts Program, joins TŌN for an all-Brahms concert.

She performs his profound and dramatic Alto Rhapsody, based on a Goethe poem, which he composed as a wedding gift for the daughter of Robert and Clara Schumann, for whom he once carried a torch. The program also includes the sweeping cantata Rinaldo, inspired by another Goethe poem about a knight who has been enchanted by a cunning sorceress. The program concludes with Brahms’ masterful First Symphony, which the composer toiled over for 14 years before its debut performance.
