he symphonic repertoire from the Austro-German tradition lies<br />
at the very of heart Western classical music. The astonishing<br />
depth and arresting beauty of J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos set<br />
the stage for the great tradition to come. From Mozart’s Requiem to<br />
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, from Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 to<br />
Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony, these performances celebrate the works<br />
of the German and Austrian masters in whom we hear, even today, the<br />
enduring efflorescence of Bach’s irrepressible invention.<br />
Generations of audiences have been endlessly enchanted by these<br />
masterpieces. Join us as Music Director Riccardo Muti and the Chicago<br />
Symphony Orchestra and Chorus open the 2014/15 season with Muti’s<br />
first-ever Chicago performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.<br />
