Music History in Symphony

Designed for a family audience, the Sunday Concerts are open to the sharing of the great works and the most relevant authors of the repertoire, stimulating the approach to orchestral music and helping to understand and decode the pieces interpreted. This programme will present a brief history of the symphony, based on the performance of creations by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Symphonic works gained expression during the classical period and have remained to this day as a matrix type of composition for a composer’s statement.
