    Concert Information

    Nielsen鈥檚 First Symphony begins with a burst of youthful confidence. Two decades later, in the darkest days of World War 1, he was playing for the highest stakes possible. Nielsen鈥檚 tremendous Fourth symphony is a fight for the very future of life itself. As batteries of drums duel it out over a raging orchestra; it鈥檚 an electrifying way to launch our cycle 鈥� on what would have been Nielsen鈥檚 150th birthday.
