A Cellist's Solo from the Gewandhausorchester
Composer Richard Strauss would've been 150 years old this year so to honor his life's work, the Gewandhausorchester will be performing from his oeuvre in Leipzig throughout the summer.

Under the conduction of Gewandhauskapellmeister Riccardo Chailly, the bill features Vincent Aucante on viola and Juernjakob Timm on cello. The performance includes Don Quixote – Fantastic Variations on a Theme of Knightly Character, op. 35, Death and Transfiguration (Tod und Verklärung) - Tone Poem for Large Orchestra, op. 24, as well as Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks), op. 28.
