The composer Johannes Brahms was a savvy businessman. He used Joseph Haydn’s name to help sell his now-famous “Variations on a Theme by Haydn,” even though Haydn might not have written the tune. Regardless, Brahms’ variations explore the theme’s emotional depth with drama, humor, and poise. Rounding out the program is the world premiere of Dejan Lazić‘s arrangement of Brahms’ Double Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Orchestra (adapted for solo piano), as well as Haydn’s “London Symphonies.”
