Quote from the conductor
Johannes Vogel
“These symphonies are linked as the last and most famous symphonies written by their composers. I have chosen these symphonies as they each show us the remarkable capabilities of the human mind; what we can achieve through our creativity and positivity to make the world a better place to live in. There are always ways to shape how we live despite our circumstances, and music has the power to provide the light, clarity, and insight that is needed to help us move forward.”

About the composer
Johannes Brahms
Born 7 May 1833 in Hamburg, Johannes Brahms was a German composer best known for his outstanding pianist work and conducting his own compositions from an early age.
Earning recognition in the mid-Romantic era, Brahms spent most of his professional life in Vienna as a traditionalist and an innovator, composing for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, voice, and chorus. His close relationship with pianist Clara Schumann - the wife of his mentor Robert Schumann - and violinist Joseph Joachim also inspired the creative direction of his music, often working together as a trio.
