Southwest Florida Symphony Brings Brahms v. Radiohead To Fort Myers

We twist classical music with modern popular music for a trip to the upcoming Southwest Florida Symphony performance “Brahms vs. Radiohead” which will be this Saturday. This performance will combine all four movements of Brahms’s First Symphony (1887) with Radiohead’s album “OK Computer” (1997) complete with vocals. We'll talk with the composer of the symphonic mash-up, Steven Hackman, about what inspired him to combine music from different centuries, and we'll speak with Amy Ginsburg, the local symphony director, who heard the music and thought, “I want that to come to Southwest Florida.”
