Brahms and the Nordic Masterpiece arrives at Long Center’s Dell Hall in Austin as the Austin Symphony Orchestra opens its new season with a rich, full-scale program.
Geneva Lewis returns as violin soloist, Peter Bay leads the orchestra, and the evening moves from Christopher Theofanidis to Brahms and Sibelius with the kind of sweep symphony fans look forward to all year. For anyone searching classical music in Austin, performing arts in Austin, or an elegant Friday night event downtown, this is one of the strongest culture picks of the week.
