Edo de Waart returns to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to conduct an all-Strauss programme – in the composer’s 150th anniversary year — on 14, 15, 16 & 17 May.
Two different sections of the orchestra are featured in the opening works – the Serenade for 13 wind instruments and Metamorphosen, for strings. The second half of the programme sees the orchestra’s Principal Oboe Eugene Izotov as soloist in the Oboe Concerto, and soprano Susanna Phillips sings Strauss’ valedictory Vier letzte Lieder.
de Waart last appeared with the CSO in January 2013, and will return to the orchestra in the 2014/15 season.
