Brahms Double with Cohen + Choi

What you need to know about this programme:

• Taking centre stage in Brahms‘ iconic Double Concerto are critically acclaimed CPO Concertmaster Diana Cohen and award-winning Principal Cellist Arnold Choi.

• In this piece, which was the last of Brahms’ four concertos, he made sure that the solo instruments received equal attention.

• The concerto was written as a musical apology to Brahms’s former friend, violinist Joseph Joachim.

• Cohen, also a founding member of Trio Trezetto, has toured and recorded across North America.

• Choi, who has performed to international acclaim, was a long-time participant of the Morningside Music Bridge programme.

• This concert also features Karłowicz’s Rebirth Symphony — a romantic orchestral work of monumental proportions.
