A MESSAGE FROM ASO MUSIC DIRECTOR PETER BAY Dear Friends, Escape the everyday, and let the ASO and me take you on a spectacular musical journey around the globe. During the course of this new season we will head north to Canada, south to Uruguay, and over the Pacific to Japan and China. We will then guide you across the Atlantic to France, Germany, Austria, and Spain, and finish right back home in the United States. As is our custom, the great Masterworks Series shares the stage with works new to our repertoire, including Mahler’s Seventh Symphony. There is even a short classical work by former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney! Please join your Austin Symphony Orchestra, marvelous soloists, and me for an exciting season of music making. Let us be your musical escape!

“Masters of Music”

Germany’s St. Thomas church in Leipzig is famous for its association with a number of well-known composers, among them, Felix Mendelssohn. The ASO will perform his Violin Concerto in E Minor, one of the composer’s most popular works. After meticulous revision of the solo part, the work finally premiered in Leipzig in 1845.

SPECIAL EVENT

Detail from Radiohead’s OK Computer album cover

SCAN TO PREVIEW

/ / / /

Brahms X Radiohead: A Symphonic Fusion Experience is an epic symphonic synthesis of Radiohead’s album, OK Computer, and Brahms’ First Symphony, utilizing a full symphony orchestra and three solo vocalists. The concert offers a re‑imagined experience of each work through the lens of the other, and explores the explosive tension they have in common.

ONE NIGHT ONLY! Thursday, April 6, 2023 Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park, 7:30 p.m. 1401 North Trinity Street, Austin, TX 78701 Steve Hackman, conductor

Brahms’ 19th-century orchestral sound palette is used throughout, but woven in, superimposed, and inserted, are the melodies and music of Radiohead. At times one hears the melodies and words of Radiohead suspended over Brahms’ original music; at times the orchestra is playing the music of Radiohead but filtered through the counterpoint and harmonies of Brahms. Every combination of synthesis is explored, as the music moves from one to the other so seamlessly that many times the audience is left wondering which is which, and how the combination is even possible.
