Additional Information
Don’t miss this rare occasion to experience the pinnacle of Richard’s Strauss’ orchestral writing. Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s life) chronicles the life and loves of a hero (presumably the composer himself) in a symphonic tour de force that will leave audiences breathless. To compliment the remainder of the program, each piece pays tribute to various mythic legends, including Dvorak’s very last orchestral work which, like the Strauss, places the artist as the ultimate hero.
