What’s Interesting About This Concert
- You’ll hear the two surviving movements of Franz Schubert’s haunting and beautiful unfinished symphony, and the three completed movements of Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9.
- Declining health, hesitation over how to continue the piece, work overload, and even that the pages were completed but ultimately lost… Theories abound, but no one knows why Schubert never finished his eighth symphony.
- The completed movements of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 showcase his signature big symphonic sound, iconic themes, and brass fanfares that will knock your socks off. Joining in the worldwide celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Bruckner’s birth, it’s a fittingly epic grand finale to wrap the 2024/25 season.
