Bignamini Conducts Abels & Strauss: Heroes, Dances & Triumph
Jader Bignamini conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, June 13, at 3 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Strauss's Ein Heldenleben anchors the program, with cellist Johannes Moser on Tchaikovsky. Tickets run $20.95 to $114.66.

The first half opens with the infectious rhythms of Michael Abels's Delights and Dances, then moves to the elegance and wit of Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme. Cellist Johannes Moser, called "remarkable" by The Times, is the soloist. Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben closes the night, with Bignamini and the orchestra playing its swaggering, expressive heroes.
