The National String Symphonia will be performing Richard Strauss’s “Metamorphosen” during the first half of the program. “Metamorphosen” is Strauss’s effort to understand the incomprehensible death and destruction of World War II and to somehow forge a bridge to a better future for the German people and the world.

The second portion of the program will bring the audience back across the ocean to the music of American composers. The NSS will perform Signs of Life, by Russell Peck, Alleluia and Fugue by Alan Hovhaness, John Corigliano’s Voyage, and Michael Daugherty’s Strut.
