Although he did not coin the term, Richard Strauss wrote the book on "tone poems," music that tells a story or describes a place. His descriptive and programmatic works are so vivid you can hear night falling and the sun rising.
Music Director Manfred Honeck and the PSO have always had a special affinity for Strauss' music. Celebrate the 150th birthday of this master musical storyteller with a program featuring an orchestral suite from Strauss' opera Elektra, the piano concert piece Burleske and the famous Suite from Der Rosenkavalier.
