Classical Conversations: Lewis Plays Brahms

Professor and Musician Dr. Eric McIntyre dives deep into the historical and cultural context behind the music you'll hear at our Masterworks 2 Concerts: Lewis Plays Brahms, presented by the Des Moines Symphony on October 26 & 27. Geneva Lewis makes her Des Moines debut playing Brahms' virtuosic and emotionally profound Violin Concerto. Still’s Serenade, with lush harmonies that weave American jazz and blues with classical traditions, opens the concert. The Orchestra shines during Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5.
