Be inspired by two “greatest of all time” works, Brahms’ First Symphony and Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story; both convey extraordinary emotional depth with spectacular instrumental color. Violinist Tai Murray made her concert debut with the Chicago Symphony at age nine and is one of America’s foremost virtuosos. A program where Broadway meets the symphonic tradition—bold, beautiful, and unforgettable.
