WHAT IT S ABOUT:
While struggling to find her footing after starting later than her peers, a violin student falls for a successful pianist with a lonely soul.
WHAT WE THOUGHT:
Do You Like Brahms? is one of those shows that caught me off guard; it s unassuming and packs a powerful emotional punch that days after watching the show, I couldn t shake it off. In fact, I have already rewatched the final two episodes. Don t be put off by the synopsis, as it is way more than what it lets on.
The plot is inspired by
classical music s most tragically romantic love triangle - pianist Johannes Brahms unrequited love for pianist Clara Schumann, the wife of Brahms mentor pianist Robert Schumann.

The Sherman Chamber Ensemble, under the artistic direction of Eliot Bailen, will kick off its summer concert series Friday and Saturday.
The Friday concert will start at 6 p.m. at Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens, 1 Green Hill Road in Washington Depot. On Saturday the ensemble will perform at 6 p.m. at Sherman Town Center in IGA Plaza, at Routes 37 and 39. Both are outdoors.
The performance begins with Samuel Barber’s “Summer Music for Wind Quintet” – a small woodwind ensemble – and grows to a nonet for Louis Spohr’s “Nonet in F Major, Op. 31” for strings and winds, where each instrument is highlighted for its individual character.
