The TSO joins forces with the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra for a side-by-side performance of the majestic prelude to Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg , a celebration of art and tradition. Richard Strauss’s epic Ein Heldenleben crowns the program, tracing a heroic journey of struggle and triumph, and special guest Wu Fei performs Tan Dun’s dazzling concerto for the Chinese zither, the guzheng.
