Bay Atlantic Symphony performs ‘contrasting’ concerts

“Shadows and Light,” two contrasting sides of one of the greatest composers of the symphonic form—Johannes Brahms—will be explored at the Bay-Atlantic Symphony’s next concerts on Saturday and Sunday March 28 and 29.
Saturday’s performance takes place at 8 p.m., at the Frank Guaracini, Jr. Fine and Performing Arts Center, Cumberland County College, Sherman Avenue and College Drive, Vineland.
Sunday’s will be at 4 p.m., at the Richard Stockton College Performing Arts Center, Jimmie Leeds Road, Galloway Township.
The concerts, conducted by Music Director Jed Gaylin, will feature Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15, with the dynamic pianist Marian Hahn from the staff of the Peabody Conservatory as soloist, and the composer’s Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73.
The bluster, anguish, and passion of the concerto contrast with the contentment and ebullience of the symphony.
Both Bay-Atlantic Symphony performances will be preceded one hour prior to starting time with a “Pre-Concert Conversation with the Maestro.”
