Hannigan Conducts Strauss

Embodying music with an unparalleled dramatic sensibility, soprano and conductor Barbara Hannigan is an artist at the forefront of creation. Her much-anticipated Severance conducting debut features a fascinating juxtaposition of works by Haydn, Ligeti – marking the centenary of the composer’s birth – and Vivier. The program concludes with Richard Strauss’s exploration of the most universal of questions: what lies waiting ahead for all of us?
