Who: The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Robertson with soloists Christine Brewer (soprano), and Lucas Meachem (baritone)
What: Music of Suppé, Schubert, and Zemlinsky
Where: Powell Symphony Hall
When: Tonight and Saturday night at 8 and Sunday at 3
Why: "Full of exotic themes, heartfelt yearning and wild freedom, Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony receives its STL Symphony premiere with phenomenal soprano Christine Brewer. Paired with the stunning melodies and warming glow of Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony, this concert will leave your spirits soaring." The local premiere of Zemlinksi's remarkable seven-movement symphony/song cycle (first performed in 1924) will probably be reason enough to attend this concert series for many music lovers. The fact that one of the soloists is our own Christine Brewer is just icing on the cake. In addition, Maestro Robertson will conduct an informal Q&A on the orchestra level after the concert. The concert opens with the lively overture to Suppé's Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna.
