Brahms Unwrapped

Event date:2012-01-19

On the heels of Mozart Unwrapped comes another year-long composer celebration at Kings Place, and as it is not actually Johannes Brahms's anniversary, you won't hear as much of his music elsewhere. Once again the boss of Kings Place, Peter Millican, has commissioned a host of musicians to curate specific programmes depending on their instrument. So there are short festivals of the German composer's works for voice, quartet, quintet, piano trio, violin, cello, choir and orchestra. Apart from the symphonies, it features most of the major works, including 'Ein Deutsches Requiem' and the Double Concerto. The series begins with Mikhail Rudy and other pianists playing the solo piano pieces.
