The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has performed the music of Richard Strauss throughout its history, including concerts under the baton of the composer himself. Four previous music directors lead a variety of Strauss’s works on this program, including the tone poem Don Juan, concertos for piano and horn, and music from the operas Die Frau ohne Schatten and Salome.
