Great music and captivating performances characterize the DuPage Symphony Orchestra's 2022-23 concert season, "Up Close and Personal." To kick off this extraordinary year, the DSO presents an all-orchestral program showcasing music of the German masters: Richard Wagner's dramatic overture to his early opera "Rienzi"; Paul Hindemith's skillfully crafted "Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber"; and Johannes Brahms' "Symphony No. 2 in D Major," an exceptionally cheerful and melodious creation that represents a notable contrast to the composer's intense, almost brooding "First Symphony."
