Tragic Overture, Op. 81 (1880)

Brahms considered A German Requiem—which became one of his most beloved and frequently performed concert works—to be “a requiem for all humanity.” Preceded by a performance of Brahms's Tragic Overture, this noble and comforting masterpiece will be performed as a side-by-side concert in the Sosnoff Theater, conducted by Leon Botstein, by members of the American Symphony Orchestra, Bard Conservatory Orchestra, Bard College Chamber Singers (James Bagwell, director), Vassar College Choir, and Cappella Festiva Chamber Choir (Christine Howlett, director). Soloists: Faylotte Crayton, soprano; and Yohan Yi, bass-baritone.
Pre-concert talk at 7 pm by James Bagwell.
