    MICHAEL STERN MUSIC DIRECTOR

    W.A. MOZART Symphony No. 40
    R. Strauss Eine Alpensinphonie

    The season closes with two genuine masterpieces – Mozart’s sprightly Symphony No. 40 in G minor, a work deeply admired by Richard Strauss, and Strauss’ monumental An Alpine Symphony, a composition of scope and grandeur worthy of the Alps themselves. Having established himself as one of the most masterful composers of all time, Strauss said after hearing the first performance of An Alpine Symphony, “at last I have learned to orchestrate.” An Alpine Symphony will exploit the full acoustic resources of Helzberg Hall and will bring the season to a thrilling conclusion.
