Think "Romantic" music and think Brahms. This beautiful concert features Brahms lyrical Symphony No. 1 - one of our conductor's personal favorites, along with an extraordinary new Violin Concerto by Zhou Tian which will feature the return of the amazing violinist, Danielle Belen. All topped off with an appearance by our own Michigan Philharmonic Youth Symphony joining the orchestra for a side-by-side rousing overture!
