This enticing program by the Los Angeles Philharmonic boasts masterworks by two giants of late German Romanticism who took very different approaches to music. Before intermission, hear the pristine, Apollonian majesty of Johannes Brahms’s Violin Concerto, akin to Beethoven’s in its gravity, which violin virtuoso Joshua Bell will take to the heights. Then, a decidedly Dionysian outlook takes over with Richard Strauss’s vivid characterization of the bold seducer Don Juan, followed by the defiant joker of German folklore, Till Eulenspiegel. The evening also includes the West Coast premiere of Matthias Pintscher’s towards Osiris. The LA Phil’s dynamic music and artistic director Gustavo Dudamel conducts.

Program:
Matthias Pintscher: towards Osiris (West Coast premiere)
Brahms: Violin Concerto
R. Strauss: Don Juan
