Geneva Plays Brahms

December 6, 7 & 8, 2025

Brahms’ fiery Violin Concerto, with its sweeping melodies and emotional depth, comes to life through the artistry of returning guest violinist Geneva Lewis. Jimmy López’s Aino is a stirring tone poem of defiance and tragedy, while Strauss’ and Leoncavallo’s works are steeped in operatic beauty—all inspired by love, sacrifice, and youthful vitality.
