FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brahms Highlights Season Opener For Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra
The opening concert of the 2011-2012 season of the Brooklyn Symphony
Orchestra will be held on Sunday, October 30, 3pm, at the Church of
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights. The program,
conducted by Artistic Director Nicholas Armstrong, includes Haydn's
Feldparthia in B-flat ("St. Antoni Chorale") followed by two Brahms
works, the Variations on a Theme of Haydn ("St. Anthony Chorale")
and the Piano Concerto #1 in d minor.
Concertgoers will enjoy a rare opportunity to hear Brahms's
Variations on a Theme by Haydn preceded by the "Haydn" theme itself.
"Haydn" in quotes because recent scholarship has pointed to the
composer Ignaz Pleyel, a student of Joseph Haydn, as the author of the
work which Brahms quoted.
To complete the program, the orchestra will be welcoming back pianist
Dan Franklin Smith in Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 1 in d minor. Mr.
Smith was highly lauded for his performance of Beethoven's Third Piano
Concerto with the orchestra at Brooklyn College several years ago.
"I have wanted to program the Brahms First Concerto for some time
now," Artistic Director Nick Armstrong said, "and Dan is a wonderful
pianist. The audience is in for a thrilling performance."
A reception to meet the musicians will follow the concert with free
refreshments.
Admission to the concert is free with a suggested contribution of $15.
Children are free.
The Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity is located at the corner
of Clinton and Montague Streets in Brooklyn Heights, next to the Court
Street subway station.
The Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, comprised of talented amateur,
semi-professional and professional musicians, is one of New York
area's finest community orchestras. Founded 36 years ago as the
"Brooklyn Heights Orchestra," the group joins under the baton of
Artistic Director Nicholas Armstrong to present five symphonic
concerts per season of classical, romantic and 20th-century music.
This concert is made possible, in part, with public funds.
