John the New Haven Symphony Orchestra (NHSO) and Music Director William Boughton Sunday April 10 at 3 p.m. at Shelton Intermediate School for Classic Brahms, featuring Haydn’s “Symphony No. 101 in D Major” and Brahm’s “Symphony No. 4.”
Joseph Haydn’s joyous harmonies are complemented by the poetic and grand Fourth Symphony by Brahms. Symphony No. 101 by Haydn, commonly known as “The Clock” due to the rhythm heard throughout the second movement, has been a popular crowd favorite since its London premiere in 1794. Brahms’ Fourth is perhaps the most intense and profound of all his symphonies, starting simply with a sigh in the violins and taking the listener on a constantly evolving emotional journey.
Tickets for the Shelton performances, $35, can be purchased by contacting the NHSO Box Office at (203) 865‑0831, ext. 10 or by visiting www.newhavensymphony.org. Student tickets are $10. This concert series is made possible in part by the generous support of Evergreen Woods, Webster Bank and the New Haven Register.
The concert will also be given in New Haven at Woolsey Hall on Thursday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 to $65.
