Richard Strauss: Don Quixote, TrV 184, Op. 35, featuring Julian Schwarz, cello

Join the Palm Beach Symphony for a poignant evening of musical storytelling as Conductor Gerard Schwarz welcomes his son, acclaimed cellist Julian Schwarz, to the stage. This father-son collaboration brings a profound, intuitive chemistry to Richard Strauss’ Don Quixote, where the solo cello takes on the "role" of the titular knight in a series of vivid, adventurous variations. The program is bookended by orchestral masterpieces, opening with the Masonic mystery of Mozart’s Overture to The Magic Flute and closing with the radiant, rhythmic joy of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 ("Italian"). From the whimsical chivalry of Strauss to the sun-soaked brilliance of the Mediterranean, this performance offers a rare look at a world-class artistic legacy in action.
