On February 24th, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will perform one night only of Brahms X Radiohead, a skillful mashup of music that spans over 100 years. Conductor Steve Hackman has been touring his interpretations of both beloved composers for over a decade.
Not without some controversy, though.
Some see the pop-classical pairings as disrespectful to both Johannes Brahms and Radiohead, but those with a more whimsical approach to their music will find the mix of these classical and contemporary composers arresting.
Brahms’ First Symphony left a pronounced influence on the music of the time, as did Radiohead’s OK Computer album. Both are a little moody, pulling in tension from the times in which they were written, which are still poignant today. | Melissa Cynova
