Richard Gill isn’t going to gossip about why Schubert never finished his Eighth Symphony (no one quite knows, although scholars love to speculate). He’s more likely to show you how Schubert’s expansive melodies and long-range harmonies work together to create one of the most gloriously lyrical symphonic movements ever written. And we introduce a new work written specially for this series by young composer Phil Jameson.

Discover Schubert then hear the “complete” Unfinished Symphony in Dance of the Imagination in June.
