Mahler's Symphony 5

OVERVIEW

We welcome back our dear friend, Music Director Emeritus Thierry Fischer, for the first of three special programs!

Known for its monumental power—and the gentle beauty of its Adagietto—Mahler’s Fifth Symphony moves from mourning, to love, to triumph, and will be a guaranteed showstopper under Fischer’s baton. With themes of Mahler’s own life reflected in the music, including his courtship of his wife Alma Schindler in a “declaration of love,” this will be an evening not to be missed!

Thierry also continues our exploration of the Haydn symphonies (only 92 left to go!) with Symphony No. 13. Featuring an unforgettable solo cello moment in the poignant Adagio, this lesser-known gem from Haydn’s repertoire offers buoyant beauty.
