Join UO Libraries for an extraordinary concert from the Berlin Philharmonic featuring two profound late-Romantic masterworks. The program opens with Johannes Brahms' beloved Violin Concerto in D major, a work that prioritizes symphonic integration and lyrical depth over mere technical display, performed by Artist in Residence Janine Jansen alongside conductor Kirill Petrenko. Jansen's renowned sensitivity to tone color and expressive eloquence make her an ideal interpreter of this concerto's rich dialogue between soloist and orchestra. The second half presents Alexander Scriabin's intoxicating Third Symphony in C minor, a philosophical journey that traces humanity's spiritual ascent from darkness into enlightenment through increasingly transcendent musical language. Together, these works showcase the Berlin Philharmonic's unparalleled ability to capture both intimate chamber-like textures and overwhelming orchestral power under Petrenko's direction.

This event is free and open to all members of the UO community.
