Catch PJ and the CSO This Weekend

Just two more opportunities to hear Paavo conduct the Cincinnati Symphony before he's off to conduct the Munich Philharmonic and the Staatskapelle Dresden!

From the CSO website: "Brahms completed only one Violin Concerto, and Leonidas Kavakos, a major talent on the international scene, will perform this extraordinary and virtuosic work. (Mr. Kavakos plays the 1692 “Falmouth” Stradivarius.) The Honegger, whose restless contrasts stem from the dark days of World War II, and Sibelius’s final symphony, whose expansive musical landscape evokes the Nordic countryside, complete the program."

Concerts are Friday, September 23, at 11 am and Saturday, September 24, at 8 pm. On the program: Honegger's Symphony No. 2; Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major; and Sibelius' Symphony No. 7 in C Major.

This program will air via streaming audio on WGUC, 90.9 FM, Sunday, December 18 at 7:30 pm ET.
