Schubert: Symphony No. 8 in B Minor (Unfinished)
Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1
Kilar: Little Overture

This season the Chicago Philharmonic explores turning points in the lives, careers, and works of major composers. Franz Schubert wrote his stirring Unfinished Symphony just as he began to face his own mortality. Johannes Brahms overcame his self-doubt with his Piano Concerto No. 1 — the stormy expression of a young genius striving to be counted with Beethoven and Mozart. Acclaimed soloist Robert McDonald joins the Chicago Philharmonic for this masterpiece. And Small Overture for Orchestra was the first true success for Polish composer Wojciech Kilar, who went on to score 130 films including Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
