The Evening Concert

Your first guess is correct as you likely said "Beethoven's 5th". After that there are other famous "5th Symphonies": Dvorak's, Mahler's, Shostakovich's. Tune in to find out which one...7 pm. Tonight. On the Evening Concert

Choral music from many ages, mainly, though, from long ago (!)

Ravel is said to have told Gershwin who sought to study composition with him (paraphrased), "Why be a second-rate Ravel, when you can be a first-rate Gershwin?"

Famous classical works about Love, like the "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture" by Tchaikovsky, and Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll".

The week starts with the New York Philharmonic's take on "Reflections on Love", followed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's "An American in Paris", plus much more . . .

Start with Mozart, K. 387 SQ in G major; then Dvorak's Op. 96 "American" quartet in F; finish with Schumann's op 44 pIano Quintet, plus a special historic encore.

Also on the program: Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe" music and James Matheson's "Unchained".

The "and more" is Beethoven's "4th Symphony" and "Prelude to Act One of Lohengrin" by Wagner.

Also on the program, CSO Concertmaster Robert Chen is featured in "Fratres" and Bartok's "1st Violin Concerto"

It's a famous dedication written at the top of the score for Berg's "Violin Concerto". The angel? Manon Gropius, daughter of Alma (Mahler) and Walter Gropius (who was one of the founders of the Bauhaus school of architecture).
