The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association's 2006/07 Toyota Symphonies for Youth (TSFY) concert series at Walt Disney Concert Hall continues on Saturday, March 17, at 11 a.m. with The Music of Brahms, an original production designed especially for young audiences, with the script written by Bryan Davidson.
The story begins with a young girl who prefers to daydream rather than do her homework, a task that includes writing a book report about the life of composer Johannes Brahms. Daunted by her over-achieving brother, she makes a modest effort and skims through the book. She discovers a section about Brahms' struggle trying to live up to Beethoven, and realizes she is not the only one living in someone else's shadow.
As the composer then appears before her, both embark on a musical journey of self-discovery. Along the way, audience members are treated to excerpts from Brahms' Symphony Nos. 1, and Beethoven's Symphony No.
