SEATTLE SYMPHONY REBROADCASTS ALL-BRAHMS PROGRAM FEATURING PIANIST GARRICK OHLSSON THIS WEEK

Seattle, WA – The Seattle Symphony announces a special rebroadcast of previous concerts that feature works by Johannes Brahms on April 16, 18 and 19, 2020. Conducted by Music Director Thomas Dausgaard, the program includes Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 1 and Symphony No. 2: Allegro con spirito, performed live on January 25, 2018. Pianist Garrick Ohlsson’s April 4, 2019 performance of Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1: Rondo: Allegro non troppo follows.

In the Seattle Symphony’s original January 25, 2018 performance of Hungarian Dance No. 1 and Symphony No. 2, Dausgaard led “the entire program without a score, sustained a level of intensely focused collaboration with the players that resulted in a consistently animated evening of music-making and left no room for a sense of the routine to tarnish its pleasures” (The Seattle Times).

Meanwhile Ohlsson brings to his performance “no histrionics, no flailing or thumping or grandstanding, just an incredible technique with razor-sharp accuracy, producing a sound so lush it almost glistens” (The Seattle Times).

Audiences can tune in on YouTube or Facebook during the three regular broadcast times: Thursday (7:30 p.m. PDT), Saturday (8 p.m. PDT) and Sunday (2 p.m. PDT).
