Performances: Oct 10, 11 & 13

Gianandrea Noseda brings the drama in Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben, a sumptuous musical portrait of the composer, his wife, his dreaded critics, and his works. The program begins with Beethoven’s final, heroic piano concerto in the hands of returning favorite Leif Ove Andsnes—“a pianist of magisterial elegance, power, and insight” (The New York Times).
