$Julia Wolfe\u2019s Her Story with the Lorelei Ensemble | Marin Alsop conducts Scheherazade$

Exceptional all-female vocal group Lorelei Ensemble joins the NSO to perform Her Story, Julia Wolfe’s large-scale theatrical work drawn from real letters written by trailblazing suffragettes. Marin Alsop opens the concert with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, an exotic journey of love, peril, and intrigue inspired by the famous folktale about a clever young queen who spins 1001 fantastical stories to outwit a murderous sultan.
