Lindberg, Lalo & Brahms 4

Dec 2-4, 2021
Lindberg, Lalo & Brahms 4

Overview

In his 2019 CSO subscription debut, Ray Chen “conjured the archetypal 19th-century virtuoso” and “combined vivid rhetoric with impeccable technique” (Chicago Tribune). Chen returns to present Lalo’s salute to the vigorous and sultry dance rhythms of Spain. A new work by renowned Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg and Brahms’ richly autumnal Fourth Symphony complete this program led by Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu.
