Mahler’s First Symphony
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
A titanic work of unbridled expression and orchestral color, Mahler’s First Symphony charts a journey in which the composer crosses tranquil meadows, witnesses a funeral march, and triumphs over self-doubt. Plus, violinist Benjamin Beilman brings his talent to showstopping miniatures by Ravel and Saint-Saëns.
