Brahms Symphony No. 3: Perfection in Orchestration and Form

March 3, 2026

The first symphonies came from a place of insecurity, but his 3rd exudes confidence from the first note to the last. John Banther and Evan Keely show you what to listen for in Brahms' orchestration, how he uses compositional tools to create new melodies, sonata form basics, and the rivalry that took place the night of the premiere.

NSO Showcase

On this month’s NSO Showcase, we take you back in time to one of a series of post-Pandemic “Welcome Back” concerts performed at the Kennedy Center in March, 2021.
