Till Eulenspiegel & Bullock Sings Aucoin

Richard Strauss brings humor and charm to Till Eulenspiegel, a lively portrait of the mischievous prankster. Brahms never revealed a story behind his Third Symphony, but its four movements are infused with a yearning, bittersweet beauty. Star soprano Julia Bullock gives the world premiere of a new song cycle, written for her by former CSO Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice Matthew Aucoin. Set to the poetry of Chilean writer Raúl Zurita, the piece explores themes of memory, language and spirituality.
