Strauss’s eulogy to the world he knew and loved is an outpouring of emotion, and one of his most intimate works. Metamorphosen is paired with other works that extract maximum power from small forces: Berio’s virtuosic Sequenza and the world premiere of Bahar Royaee’s viola concerto.
PROGRAM INCLUDES:
Luciano Berio - Sequenza XIVb for double bass
Richard Strauss - Metamorphosen for septet
Bahar Royaee - Memories of Distortions of the Shell of the Water on the Lake Under the Light* (World Premiere)
