About this event
The “Alpine Symphony” is a grand work of art that requires 140 different instruments with a sizable orchestra, and because of its challenges, it is not often performed. Though the prerequisites are rigorous, they are worth it. It calls for so much to recreate the scene Strauss envisioned: a single day’s journey on foot in the Alps from pre-dawn to nighttime, along the way experiencing all the sounds one might encounter. It’s a true celebration of nature enrapturing the human spirit — sometimes startling and thunderous, sometimes blissfully quiet, but always fascinating and unrestrained.
