PROGRAM CONDUCTED BY DONATO CABRERA

Franz Schubert – Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished)

Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 9 (Unfinished)

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS CONCERT

You’ll hear the two surviving movements of Franz Schubert’s haunting and beautiful final symphony, and the three completed movements of Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9.
Declining health, hesitation over how to continue the piece, work overload, and even that the pages were completed but ultimately lost... Theories abound, but no one knows why Schubert never finished his eighth and final symphony.
The completed movements of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 showcase his signature big symphonic sound, iconic themes, and brass fanfares that will knock your socks off. Featuring one of the largest ensembles to take the stage in the season, it’s a fittingly epic grand finale to wrap the 2024/25 season.
approx. 1 hour 40 minutes, with one intermission
