The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

From the wistful horn calls of its opening bars to the life-affirming radiance of the closing chorale, Brahms' Second Symphony conjures bucolic landscapes where sunlit serenity and ominous storm clouds share the sky. Plus, Composer-in-Residence Andy Akiho premieres a new concerto for cellist Jeffrey Zeigler, who performs with "unforced simplicity and beauty of tone" (New York Times).
