A profound musical journey

Join us and experience a concert of rare emotional resonance and spiritual depth. At its heart lies Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen — a soul-stirring elegy for 23 solo strings and one of the most profound works in the string orchestra repertoire. Intimate and expressive, it speaks to themes of beauty, humanity, and irrevocable loss.

In poignant counterpoint, Pergolesi’s radiant Stabat Mater offers a timeless reflection on sorrow and solace, scored for two voices, strings, and continuo. Together, these two masterpieces create an unforgettable arc — from devastation to hope, grief to grace.

Led by the acclaimed Canadian Jean-Marie Zeitouni, known for his emotional clarity and stylistic finesse across centuries of repertoire, this program features Thirteen Strings in an expanded ensemble of superb string players and long-time collaborators.
