BEETHOVEN  Piano Concerto No. 3
STRAUSS  Ein Heldenleben, “A Hero’s Life”

The season concludes with a powerful pairing of Beethoven and Strauss, under the skilled direction of JoAnn Falletta.

The program promises an evening of reflection on personal and artistic heroism, exploring the themes of challenge, triumph, and the artist’s role in society.
