Summary
David Danzmayr leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in works by Schubert and Strauss at Symphony Hall, featuring pianist Pavel Kolesnikov in Saint-Saëns’s Second Concerto.
Why it's fantastic
You might recognise the haunting, two-movement symphony that famously remains incomplete, but the real draw is Saint-Saëns’ concerto, which shifts from Bach-like elegance to a frantic, playful dance. With the glitz of a Viennese ballroom closing the afternoon, it is a perfect entry point for those who enjoy music with a narrative.
