Brahms: Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn
Britten: Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge
Schubert: Symphony No. 6
“Music Director of the English Chamber Orchestra and cellist of the Emerson String Quartet, Paul Watkins bring an affinity for English string music to Britten’s virtuosic and dramatic variations. The winsome melodies and jocular mood of Schubert’s Sixth Symphony complete the program.”
Shakespeare has been a favorite subject of many famous composers. Next month the Omaha Symphony is holding its own Shakespeare festival. Celebrate one of the greatest writers in the English language by listening to works composed by Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Walton, Berlioz, and Mendelssohn. Attend either one or both days of the festival for an exciting exploration of Shakespeare’s works.
