Brahms X Radiohead With the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra

Join conductor Steve Hackman and your SLSO for Brahms X Radiohead—an epic symphonic synthesis of two landmark pieces of music: Radiohead’s album OK Computer and Johannes Brahms’ First Symphony. Composed for a full symphony orchestra and three solo vocalists, Brahms X Radiohead offers a reimagined experience of each work by seeing it through the lens of the other, exploring the explosive tension and deep pathos they have in common.

Throughout this 80-minute fusion performance, Radiohead’s off-kilter, rock melodies weave in and out of Brahms’ 19th-century orchestral sound palette. Immerse yourself in Brahms’ symphony with Radiohead’s themes and lyrics superimposed and the music of Radiohead filtered through the counterpoint and harmonies of Brahms. As the music moves seamlessly from one to the other, we’re left wondering which is which and how the combinations are possible.
