Yue Bao, assistant conductor of the Houston Symphony, examines the role of destiny in works by Verdi, Strauss and Beethoven. Soprano Jessica Rivera sings Richard Strauss’ poignant Four Last Songs, and BRKFST, a eight-member collaborative dance ensemble, will create an original work to Beethoven’s Grosse fuge in a style that merges elements of break dance and contemporary dance. Capping the program is one of the most popular symphonies ever composed, Beethoven’s Fifth.
