The heroic and expressive Egmont Overture opens a program of refined classics featuring Beethoven’s second symphony, its music bursting with restless energy and angst as the composer grappled with ever increasing hearing loss. Autumnal and lushly romantic, Bruch’s double concerto evokes a warm nostalgia, taking listeners on a momentary 19^th Century Idyll.
