This weekend, students from the Charleston Symphony Youth Orchestras will share the stage with CSO musicians for Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture.
Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture begins serenely but quickly becomes a lively celebration. It often alludes to and captures the energy of beer hall songs sung by students and is supplemented with marches and folk tunes. Though brief, it is an orchestral tour-de-force and has long been an audience favorite for good reason.
