Okko Kamu Conducts Schubert's Symphony

Despite being only two movements long, Schubert's Unfinished Symphony – with its haunting first-movement melody – is the best known of all his orchestral music, leaving many to wonder just what could have been had Schubert gone on to complete it.

Conducting the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in this masterful work on February 23 is Okko Kamu.

"I'm sending you some little piano pieces," Brahms wrote to a friend in July 1881. These "little piano pieces" would turn out to be the genius of his grand opus, the Piano Concerto No. 2, a work of far greater scope than anything he had previously written.

Pianist Dennis Lee will perform the solo part with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. -- www.sso.org.sg
