Eschenbach Conducts Bruckner
Dive into bold new worlds of color and sound in a program that pairs the romance of the past with the racing pulse of the 21st century. Here are the top three reasons not to miss this weekend’s performances:
- Soar through limitless sonic landscapes in Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, music inspired by the colorful knights and castles of medieval romance.
- Give a warm Houston welcome to former Music Director and Bruckner master Christoph Eschenbach.
- Rock and roll rhythms meet staggering virtuosity in Esa Pekka Salonen’s roller coaster ride of a concerto which, in the words of the composer, “pushes the violin to its very limits.”
