Revered conductor Günther Herbig, the TSO’s music director from 1989 to 1994, fulfills an eagerly anticipated return engagement with a program that he leads with supreme insight and authority: Schubert’s beloved, achingly melancholy “Unfinished” Symphony, and the vast, exalting quest for emotional fulfillment that is Bruckner’s Ninth. Concert running time is approximately two hours including a 20-minute intermission.
