LineUp

Igor Stravinsky, the Russian-born titan of 20th-century music, revolutionized classical sound with his bold rhythms and innovative harmonies. His iconic ballets "The Firebird," "Petrushka," and the riot-inducing "The Rite of Spring," created for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, remain cornerstones of modernism. He also explored neoclassicism and serialism.
Richard Strauss, born in Munich, Germany, was a leading late Romantic and early Modern German composer and conductor. Renowned for his tone poems, including "Also sprach Zarathustra", and operas like "Der Rosenkavalier", he mastered orchestral and vocal composition. Strauss collaborated notably with librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal. He was also a successful conductor of orchestras and director of opera houses.
Indiana’s Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1930 by Ferdinand Schaefer, performs about 200 concerts a year for 350,000 people. It has 30+ recordings across classical and pops, tours to Europe, and has appeared at Carnegie Hall.
Jun Märkl is a German conductor widely recognized for his refined interpretations of core Germanic repertoire and French Impressionist music. Born in Munich to a musical family, he has held numerous prestigious positions worldwide and serves as the Music Director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan, as well as the Chief Conductor of the Residentie Orchestra of The Hague.
