The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Plus Strauss - Jan. 7-9
Richard Strauss' tone poem, Also sprach Zarathustra, is fiery, turbulent and mystical. The Sorcerer's Apprentice was originally composed as a teaching exercise in how not to write a scherzo, although many link it to a certain animated mouse, conjuring magic beyond his skill while becoming mired in mayhem. Pianist Haochen Zhang brings his youthful energy to Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto.
