Obra: Symphony no.6, "Sinfonia semplice"

Fabio Luisi and the DNSO did not disappoint audiences in San Francisco, presenting a captivating program of Beethoven, Strauss and Nielsen.

Concertmaster Erin Keefe delivers a stellar performance of the Brahms Violin Concerto as part of a Minnesota Orchestra program, paired with a presentation of Carl Nielsen's quirky, curious final symphony.
