| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Tuesday 22-Oct-13 07:30pm Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig / Chailly / Brahms Cycle The nervous, self-effacing Johannes Brahms had a habit of making promises he couldn’t keep. Most blatant was the assertion in 1872 that he’d ‘never write a symphony’. Sure enough, and despite the thuds of Beethoven’s footsteps ringing in his ears, Brahms proved himself spectacularly wrong. When the composer’s First Symphony finally arrived, it made the most awesome of entrances – launching with a turbulent face-off between pounding drums, climbing strings and plunging woodwinds. Brahms was shaking the very ground before him, and this was just the start. The Leipzig Gewandhaus follows its landmark Beethoven cycle at the Barbican with the symphonies of Johannes Brahms, starting here. Tickets:

| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Wednesday 23-Oct-13 07:30pm Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig / Chailly / Brahms Cycle Overlooking the still, glistening lake at Wörthersee, Johannes Brahms set about creating a symphony that captured all he saw: a clear, light day; the infinite beauty of the sunset; the stillness of night; a peaceful awakening. Brahms captured that glowing, spacious joy in his second piano concerto, too, written after a reviving holiday in Italy which represented the most contented period in his life. Did those sentiments shape the calm, joyous opening gesture from Brahms’s horn, and the ensuing music that radiates warmth, love and longing? The Leipzig Gewandhaus continues its Brahms journey at the Barbican with works of rapture and stillness.

| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Tuesday 29-Oct-13 07:30pm Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig / Chailly / Brahms Cycle Long before he got into his symphonic stride, Brahms attempted to confront his Beethoven-shaped demons through the medium of the piano concerto – the first of which he conceived as the most monumental, original and hard-hitting orchestral achievement since Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. It took Brahms a long time to get his concerto just right, but when he did, he delivered a piece of staggering emotional breadth and new-found virtuosity that still thrills and surprises a century and a half later – the perfect foil to the impulsive flow, profound darkness and compelling depth of his heart-on-sleeve Third Symphony.

| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Wednesday 30-Oct-13 07:30pm Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig / Chailly / Brahms Cycle Brahms’s Fourth Symphony is the most spiritual of his orchestral scores – the supreme achievement of his quest to wed discipline and emotion. This piece ends the orchestra's cycle of the composers symphonies and is joined by the only one of Brahms’s concertos that shares that autumnal poise, those golden-browns of resignation and the symphonic breadth that communicates everything Brahms held dear. Leonidas Kavakos joins the orchestra for this poignant conclusion to its four-concert portrait of the most exquisite craftsman ever to write for orchestra.
