Carnegie Hall

One hundred years after its world premiere and more than ninety years since ASO founder Leopold Stokowski premiered the work in the U.S. with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the American Symphony Orchestra presents Schoenberg’s massive Gurrelieder. Wagnerian in conception, this piece represents what is arguably the apotheosis of late Romanticism. The performance of this lesser-known work echoes ASO’s mission to provide New York audiences with rarely performed repertoire.
