Feel the propulsive rush of organ and brass with the Bach in the Baltimore Brass section and featured organist Bert Landman. Experience Saint-Saëns “Organ Symphony” (arranged for organ and brass), Gabrieli Sonata Piano and Forte, and more festive brass and organ works, including Mendelsohn’s Beati Mortui, Bach’s Jesu, Non Sei Gepreise, and more! A majestic showstopper, Saint-Saëns’s “Organ Symphony” was composed in 1886, and it would be the great composer’s last symphonic work. About the work, Saint-Saëns said, “What I have here accomplished I will never achieve again.” Modern brass players adore Gabrieli’s polytonal brass works for their ambitious and grandiose sound fit to fill the multiple choir lofts at Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica. Don’t miss this vibrant pairing of colorful, pulsating music from across the ages, recreated with virtuoso brass stationed around the performance site.
