Our final concert of the year opens with Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture, a jubilant and jocular celebration of student life. Principal Clarinet Allan Meyer will then enthral you with Brahms' Clarinet Sonata, rich with colour and heard here in Berio’s superb arrangement for full orchestra. Then, Brahms’ final and finest symphony, the Fourth, an astounding work that captures the very essence of his musical genius. In the hands of Asher Fisch, this cornerstone of the symphonic repertoire will make a truly unforgettable finale to WASO’s 2024 season.
