Martin Grubinger / Gustavo Gimeno / OPL

There’s hardly a work by Richard Strauss containing so many references as Ein Heldenleben – the composer considered it a counterpart for his work on the anti-hero Don Quixote and also for Beethoven’s «Eroica». The result is a tone poem so colourful that it is perfect for a glittering season opening. The same goes for Tan Dun’s Percussion Concerto: The Tears of Nature, in which percussionist Martin Grubinger plays the solo part. The concert is preceded by an artist conversation in English with Gustavo Gimeno, chief conductor of the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, at 7:15 pm at the Salle de Musique de Chambre.
