An historic moment for the Buffalo Philharmonic - the return (after many decades) of one of the most extraordinary artists in our world today - pianist Yefim Bronfman. The Maestro chose Mozart's sublime C minor concerto to bring to Buffalo - how fortunate for us! Another German masterpiece closes the program - Richard Strauss' towering ton poem Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Inspired by the words of the ancient philosopher Zoroaster, the piece gained worldwide fame when it was used in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, and you will recognize the opening immediately. We open with a 'modern classic' by American composer John Adams - his orchestral intriguing "outtake" from his opera Nixon in China.
