R. SCHUMANN Symphony No. 1 in B-Flat Major, Op. 38 “Spring” BRAHMS Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-Flat Major, Op. 83
The Mercury Orchestra, national winner of the 2010 American Prize in Orchestral Performance, presents two contrasting masterpieces of the romantic era. Robert Schumann’s “Spring Symphony” was his first completed symphonic work, an energetic and dynamic celebration of the joys and passions of springtime. Johannes Brahms’s second piano concerto is fully symphonic in structure and scope, traversing serious majesty, whirling tumult, serene contemplation, and playful dance. The concert will feature Kelvin Tang, winner of the 2026 Fou Ts’ong International Concerto Competition, sponsored by the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts.
