SLO Symphony: Novacek Plays Brahms

John Novacek is well known to San Luis Obispo audiences through performances with Festival Mozaic and as their 23/24 Artist in Residence. His acumen for big works will be on full display as he performs Brahms’ mighty Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat. 

The Symphony will open with Changes by northern Californian composer, Andre Myers, who serves on the composition faculty at Redwood University. The concert concludes with Symphony No. 3 by Louise Farrenc, a mid-nineteenth century French composer. Farrenc served for more than twenty years as professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire and was a virtuoso pianist herself. She wrote three symphonies, choral and chamber works, as well as many works for the piano.
