Marc Coppey owes his musical calling to Brahms: as a child, he first heard Brahms’s String Sextet No. 1 at a concert. It was a life-changing experience!
That is why he will open the day with a narrated concert, “Brahms Explained to Children”: a journey of discovery through the famous Hungarian Dances and the splendid String Sextet No. 1.
The program for the second concert features three masterpieces by the great composer, combining his proverbial tenderness with the most impassioned outbursts, notably in the Piano Quartet No. 1 and its famous “Hungarian Rondo.”
