The 2014-2015 season opens with a program featuring world-renowned pianist Emanuel Ax performing works by Mozart and Strauss.  JoAnn Falletta celebrates the 150th Anniversary of Strauss’ birth with a performance of his Don Juan – an expression of youthful exuberance and desire.

“His greatness, his overwhelming authority as musician, technician and probing intellect emerges quickly as he plays. Within minutes, we are totally captured by his intensity and pianistic achievement.”  - Los Angeles Times
