Concert Information
Elegant and virtuosic, Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major is a celebrated masterwork.
Schumann’s Symphony No. 1 'Spring' arrives as a burst of fresh lush harmonies and optimism. Spring is inspired by the German poet Adolf Böttger’s poem, Frühlingsgedicht, which portrays nature as a symbol of reawakening and hope.
