Colby Symphony Orchestra: Brahms and Poulenc

The Colby Symphony Orchestra highlights two canonical composers, Brahms and Poulenc, for the ensemble’s season opener. The concert features two contrasting works by Johannes Brahms: his Academic Festival Overture (1880), which quotes multiple student tavern songs, and his melancholy, rich Symphony No. 4 in E Minor (1885). Pianists Steven Pane and Colby Associate Professor of Music Yuri Funahashi will join the orchestra for a cheerful, vivacious early work by Francis Poulenc, his Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (1932).
