The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra performs Brahms' Double Concerto—his final orchestral work and a rare pairing of violin and cello—featuring LACO concertmaster Margaret Batjer and principal cellist Andrew Shulman. Also on the program is Beethoven's famous Fifth Symphony and a newly commissioned work by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Reid.

Composers often look over their shoulders. To memorialize friends who had died in World War I, Ravel took refuge in the airy, graceful forms of the French Baroque. In Pulcinella, Stravinsky melded Classical poise with modern rhythms and harmonies. And in Carlo, Brett Dean elaborates on music of love, death and guilt by the notorious madrigalist (and murderer!), Carlo Gesualdo.
