Bignamini Conducts Abels & Strauss: Heroes, Dances & Triumph
Jader Bignamini conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, June 12, at 8 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit, with Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben as the centerpiece. Tickets run $20.95 to $114.66.
The first half opens with the bright, rhythmic energy of Michael Abels's Delights and Dances. Then comes Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme, with cellist Johannes Moser, whom The Times called "remarkable." Strauss's sweeping, swaggering tone poem closes the night.
