An afternoon of Beethoven, Brahms and Barton Pine. From 3-5 p.m. presented by the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra being held at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, 149 W. Brush Hill Road. American pianist and comedian Oscar Levant once tried to talk his way out of a speeding ticket by saying, “You can’t possibly hear the last movement of Beethoven’s Seventh and go slow!” We agree, and preemptively caution you as you drive home from this concert. Opening with the charming and witty Barber of Seville Overture (you might fondly recall the Bugs Bunny cartoon), this concert welcomes violinist Rachel Barton Pine to the stage for the Violin Concerto by Johannes Brahms.
