Respighi, Strauss, & Haydn

About this event:

Experience an uplifting voyage through epochs of human and musical ascension with horn virtuoso Corbin Wagner. The concert opens with a world premiere from LSO’s Composer-in-Residence, Jared Miller. Ottorino Respighi’s "Trittico Botticelliano,", ushers in Renaissance splendor, celebrating the era’s ascendancy in arts and humanities. Wagner’s performance of Richard Strauss’ "Horn Concerto No. 2" then exemplifies the horn’s expansive capabilities, from lyrical softness to heroic fortitude, mirroring the humanistic rise of the Renaissance and Enlightenment. The program culminates with Haydn’s Symphony No. 43 “Mercury”, where its classical elegance and enlightened wit elevate the audience, embodying the uplifting spirit of ascension that connects each piece.
