Could you breathe a little of the longing for spring into your orchestra as they play? That was what was most in my mind when I wrote the symphony

Greet the season of renewal and growth with Schumann's First Symphony
Join the DSO and exciting up-and-comer violinist Ray Chen for a Schumann's First Symphony, a delicate and delightful evocation of the season of renewal as we shake off the drudgery of the winter and welcome new life.
Originally intending to study law, Schumann left the profession to persue his dreams of becoming a virtuoso pianist. When a hand-injury put paid to this path, he turned his talents to composition. His imagination and talent proved himself to be one of the greats of the Romantic era. Today, some 200 years after his birth, his works continue to inspire and entertain around the world.
