Against the Avant-Garde: Romanticisms of the 1920s

12/07/2008 at 08:00 PM – Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center

In Europe in the 1920s, music experienced the revolution of the avant-garde. Composers turned away from Romanticism…

But these three great composers struggled to prove that Romantic music was still relevant and thriving as a style of truly great works of art. Violinist Daniel Hope will perform Suter’s beautiful Violin Concerto, and Marx’s Autumn Symphony will celebrate its SECOND performance since 1927. THREE LONG-OVERDUE US PREMIERES… A PROGRAM THAT ONLY LEON BOTSTEIN AND THE ASO CAN OFFER.Join Maestro Botstein at 1:45PM for his illuminating pre-concert dicussion from the Avery Fisher Hall mainstage.
