If sunrise had a favourite song, Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss would be it. You’ve heard it before depicting the dawn of time in 2001: A Space Odyssey and, more recently, depicting the dawn of Barbie in 2023. But that part you know well? It’s only the beginning. Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra) is an odyssey all its own—powerful, unforgettable, and best experienced live.

2024: A Summer Odyssey

Southam Hall

Kerson Leong, who dazzled TSO audiences in 2022, returns to perform Korngold’s romantic Violin Concerto, written during his Hollywood years and first performed by the great Jascha Heifetz. The Hollywood-themed first half begins with Bernard Herrmann’s iconic music for the film Psycho. Conductor Nicholas Hersh makes his Masterworks debut with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5, “Reformation,” written to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, when Martin Luther established the Protestant Reformation. It includes the famous Dresden Amen. A noted arranger, Hersh introduces the first performance of his own orchestration of Clara Schumann’s piano collection “4 Pièces caractéristiques.”
