The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra presents its next Masterworks concert on Thursday and Friday, October 17th and 18th at 7:30pm. As usual, the performances will be given in the magnificent Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville. The program has a "Romantic era" theme and includes the Ballade in A minor by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the Symphony No.3 by Brahms, and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, featuring violinist, Paul Huang.
Learn more about Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, as well as what sets Brahms' Third Symphony apart from his other symphonies in this interview with conductor, Aram Demirjian. He and Morning Concert host, Melony Dodson, also discuss the relationship between soloist, conductor, and orchestra in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, and theorize why "new/unfamiliar" music may more challenging to some audience members at first.
