Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft joins us for our final concert of the season. Uncharacteristically Mozart in style, his 39th Symphony’s slow and grand opening leads to an energetic allegro; a drifting andante bounds into the energetic Minuet, before jumping into the monothematic finale. Strauss often used a story to stimulate his musical imagination, and Don Quixote provides more than adequate food for thought.
Featuring a solo cello as Don Quixote, and solo viola as his servant, Sancho, Strauss tells of the Don’s many escapades in this slightly barmy 10 movement tone poem.
