What Was Brahms Thinking?!
A Musical Journey Inside the Mind of a Composer
Imagine spending nearly twenty years trying to solve one enormous musical puzzle. Why did Brahms wait so long to write his first symphony? What ideas did he try? What made him doubt himself—and what finally inspired him?
Through theatrical storytelling, live orchestral performance, and interactive musical exploration, students will step inside the mind of one of history’s greatest composers and discover how perseverance, creativity, and imagination can transform a simple idea into a masterpiece.
