At the heart of their programme are the Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss. Written in 1948 when the composer was 84, and never heard by Strauss who died before the premiere, they are among his great achievements and have been a staple of the repertoire ever since. Also included in the programme are an early, romantic set of songs by Schoenberg, and songs by George Crumb and Florence Price. All evening concerts this year are performed twice, at 5.30pm and 8.15pm. This 8.15pm performance is a repeat performance of Event 81. This performance will be in-person and livestreamed.
