    Christine Brewer is one of the world’s most acclaimed and respected sopranos. She will perform a work for which she has a special affinity – and one of the most gorgeous works ever composed – Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs. American composer Christopher Rouse’s Odna Zhizn (A Life) opens the program with another view of life and love. Tchaikovsky’s delightful Second Symphony, the “Little Russian,” so-called because of its folk-inspired melodies, brings the concert to a thrilling close.

    To order Youth tickets for ages 8 and above, please call the Symphony Box Office at (816) 471-0400.
