Kurt Weill—best known for The Threepenny Opera—called his innovative and tuneful Second Symphony a “symphonic fantasy.” It is a unique work of tremendous intensity by a rarely performed composer.

Richard Strauss’ ultra-romantic tone poem Don Juan scandalized and delighted audiences at its 1889 premiere—never before had they heard such graphically suggestive music.

This concert will include an intermission.

Patrons of this event are invited to attend a prelude presentation before this concert on Thursday, June 11 and Saturday, June 13, starting at 6:45 PM in the Upper Circle Lobby (3rd Floor).
