How to get there
This program celebrates tradition while looking at how the orchestral art form continues to grow and change. We open with Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture, written for the opening of a public performance space, a piece that puts music's role in civic and cultural life front and center. This concert also commemorates the bicentennial year of Beethoven's death in 1827, and we're honored to celebrate 200 years of his enduring influence on the orchestral tradition.
We close with Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 3, continuing our exploration of Brahms's symphonic output after performing Symphony No. 2 in the 2024-2025 season. With this performance, OCO begins a multi-year journey through Brahms's symphonies, giving you the chance to experience the depth and development of one of the central symphonic voices of the nineteenth century.
Note: Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the event start time.
