Michael Francis, conductor
Richard Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra
Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 (arr. Mahler)
A centerpiece celebration of Michael Francis’ 10th season pairs two of the most famous openings in music: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Richard Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra (Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey) – one of the first works Maestro Francis ever conducted with TFO. This will be the first time TFO performs the bigger, bolder Mahler arrangement of Beethoven’s iconic journey from darkness to light.
