About
At Ingo Metzmacher's debut with the Konzerthausorchester, Stravinsky’s “Dumbarton Oaks”, a commissioned work by an American couple of patrons that premiered at their estate of the same name in 1938, is followed by John Adams’s piano concerto “Century Rolls” (1997), featuring the young pianist Conrad Tao.After this American-themed first half, the stage in the Great Hall will be packed, as Richard Strauss is on the programme: “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” is “by far the most significant, the most perfectly formed, the most interesting, and the most distinctive of my works,” the composer declared.
