In a program showcasing the breadth and variety of 20th century music, Franz Welser-Möst leads The Cleveland Orchestra and soprano Latonia Moore in their first performance of George Walker’s 𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘴, as well as an extended suite from Richard Strauss’s 𝘋𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘬𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳 (1911), compiled by Welser-Möst. The conductor examines his special, long-standing connection to the music of Strauss, and George Walker’s sons reminisce about their Pulitzer Prize–winning father’s life and compositional process.
