The Evening Concert

Tonight is the first of 13 Wednesday night broadcasts from the Pittsburgh SYmphony Orchestra on the "Evening Concert".

It’s a “Gershwin Spectacular” from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra!

Condcutor-sensation Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla leads the German Chamber Philharmonic, Bremen in that Beethoven symphony.

This week, Beethoven, Gershwin, Khachaturian, Bruckner, Ravel, and others, nightly at 7 pm.

Our second hour of chamber music comes to us from the Spoleto Chamber Music festival serie and includes music by Handel and Cesar Franck.

"A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything." ( - Mahler)*.  And that 'everything' in this symphony includes tenor horn, cowbells, mandolin, and guitar.

It's a tour-de-force symphony in Beethoven's favorite key, C Minor, the "Resurrection" by Mahler...in a perfomance that crackles with energy.

plus Mozart's poignant "Symphony No. 40 in G Minor"

Composers include Monteverdi, Dufay, Janequin, Hasse and others.

You'll hear music by Monteverdi, "Pictures at an Exhibition", the "2nd Symphony" (Resurrection), String Quartets, and the Piano Quintet in F Minor among other works this week
