About the Concert
The Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra explores music as vivid as a painted canvas. Sibelius opens the program with the bright, vigorous energy of the Karelia Overture. Violinist Dylan Hamme brings lyricism, wit, and dazzling color to Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto, a work that moves between dreamlike tenderness and quicksilver motion. Conductor Alison Norris closes the afternoon with Howard Hanson's expansive ‘Romantic’ Symphony, music of warmth, soaring melody, and cinematic breadth.
Join us Sunday, February 21 at 2:00 PM at the Brooklyn Museum, or watch the livestream. Concert tickets include general admission to the Museum.
