About This Concert

At the Conference concert on Friday evening, June 7, a scandalous play by Oscar Wilde meets the explosive musical originality and visceral story-telling of Richard Strauss. The result is one of the most shocking and thrilling works in the operatic repertoire.

Experience it firsthand with Music Director Juraj Valčuha and the Houston Symphony.

The Conference Tune-Up Party will follow.

Read an in-depth analysis of Richard Strauss’ Salome by Alex Ross in The New Yorker.
