Our season ends with two of the most spectacular and orchestrally overwhelming scores from the late romantic period: Richard Strauss’s epic tone-poem Also sprach Zarathustra, inspired by Nietzsche’s account of the deep meditations of the half- mythical Persian hermit-philosopher Zoroaster; and Bartók’s dramatic fantasy Bluebeard’s Castle, based on the ancient fairy-tale about a young woman who marries a mysterious aristocrat and discovers that he has terrible secrets kept behind locked doors.

One of the greatest albums of all time and the best-selling jazz album ever, Miles Davis’ masterpiece Kind of Blue is as relevant and revered today as when it was recorded in 1959. Join Gil and his band as they celebrate this seminal recording by Davis and his all-star band.
