Heldenleben

Seattle Symphony is presenting the world premiere of David Lang’s very approachable new work, “symphony without a hero,” in a program that also includes Strauss’ “Ein Heldenleben” (“A Hero’s Life”).

Then, concertmaster-designate Dennis Kim will be featured in “A Hero’s Life” (“Ein Heldenleben”), Strauss’ autobiographical tone poem depicting confidence, unrest, the battle of life, love and serenity.
