Frost Symphony Orchestra - Strauss' A Hero's Life

  • Maurice Gusman Concert Hall at Frost School UM 1314 Miller Drive Coral Gables, FL, 33146 United States (map)

The centerpiece of the evening is Richard Strauss’ tone poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life). It stands as the culmination of 19th century romanticism and as an autobiographical statement, as Strauss quotes from several of his previous works. This program also includes Walter Piston’s Three New England Sketches and the unveiling of a new work by a Frost student composition competition winner.
