The Columbus Symphony Orchestra is pleased to present the music of Beethoven and Brahms on Saturday, March 21, 2015 at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts. Beginning at 6:30 p.m. attend Know the Score, a pre-concert conversation with Music Director and Conductor George Del Gobbo, about the music being performed during the concert in the Studio Theatre.

The 7:30 p.m. concert will feature pianist Alexandre Moutouzkine performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58 with the orchestra. Other works include Brahms’ Tragic Overture, Op. 81 and Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 73. 

CSO Music Director and Conductor George Del Gobbo commented, “We are very pleased to have two of the proverbial ‘Three B's’ represented on this concert. (Bach will have to wait until another time.)  Alexandre Moutouzkine will join the orchestra in one of Beethoven's most popular piano concertos and the orchestra will play two of Brahms' greatest works.  This is ‘meat and potatoes’ in the world of classical music, but it's the very
best of both.”

Beethoven and Brahms is presented by Columbus Regional Health, Aflac, Boomer 95.3, News1420 WRGC and the Marriott Columbus.
