c. 8.40pm
Sarah Gibson: warp and weft
Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor
Tobias Feldmann (violin)
91Èȱ¬ Philharmonic
Anja Bihlmaier (conductor)
For Brahms, composing music was a quest to balance head and heart. The composer’s final symphony is the most exquisite example of that mission, a piece as radiant as poetry and as perfect as a mathematical equation. In tonight’s Prom Brahms’s work of Apollonian perfection is balanced by the outpouring of joy that is Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, plus Sarah Gibson’s warp & weft, inspired by the work of Canadian artist Miriam Schapiro. Tobias Feldmann makes his Proms debut for this concert with the 91Èȱ¬ Philharmonic under Anja Bihlmaier.
