Event description

Experience the culmination of the Grand Rapids Symphony's landmark 95th season with the awe-inspiring performance of "Death & Transfiguration."

The concert will premiere Jake Heggie’s "Earth 2.0," a co-commission with the Fort Worth Symphony that delves into themes of nature and conservation. This piece, alongside R. Strauss's "Tod und Verklärung" (Death and Transfiguration), will offer audiences a thrilling and epic finale to the season.
