Alastair Presents: Waltzing with Strauss

In the spirit of Tchaikovsky’s Circles, Vienna’s Riches, Paris Impressions, Seeking Haydn, and Neighboring Bach, this sixth installment of Alastair Presents takes us back to Vienna in the mid-to-late 19th-century where the Strauss Family had the market on dance music completely cornered.

Music Director Alastair Willis says “The Strauss dynasty was a golden era of elegance, joy and beauty in music. It was amazing to live through it and experience it all. My famous brothers – Johann Jr, Edward and Josef Strauss – stole all the limelight. I became the forgotten brother – no one remembers me. Join us as I share what it was like to always be in their shadow, and how I helped them become waltzing superstars”.

Come hear the most glorious waltzes and polkas ever composed performed brilliantly by the South Bend Symphony in a dramatic and historical presentation.
