The concert opens with Jörg Widmann’s Horn Concerto, an exciting work by this season’s resident composer. Following this is Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony – the Unfinished – a grand and emotional masterpiece, the composer’s musical farewell to life, dedicated to God. Bruckner died in Vienna without having completed the work, which premiered in 1903.
