Wiesbaden on the Rhine River

Brahms’ glorious Third Symphony is a hidden gem, an odd mix of heroism, formal rigor, and emotional depth that sets it apart. Writing in the picturesque town of Wiesbaden on the Rhine River, Brahms incorporated his personal motto, “Frei aber froh” (Free but happy) throughout the piece.

Johannes Brahms

Written as Stalin’s Great Terror campaign made music a matter of life and death for Soviet composers, Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony is a searing search for hope in a time of darkness and oppression.

Repertoire

Shostakovich - Festive Overture

Brahms - Symphony No. 3

Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5
