Houston Symphony presents Elgar’s Enigma Variations, featuring one of the most beloved works in all of classical music. Conceived as a “musical photo album,” with each variation presenting a sketch of one of Elgar’s closest friends, Enigma includes as its shining centerpiece the immortal, achingly beautiful variation known as “Nimrod” - iconic music audiences are sure to recognize. These concerts also include the sparkling music from Copland’s famed collaboration with dancer/choreographer Martha Graham, Appalachian Spring, and Augusta Read Thomas’ 2021 composition Dance Foldings, which draws inspiration from this unique moment in time, and the connection between music, dance, and science.
The Saturday performance will be available to livestream.
