This vibrant program opens with a colorful yet rarely-heard violin concerto by Karl Goldmark. That romantic spirit continues with Mahler’s weighty “Titan” Symphony, which takes listeners on an idyllic jaunt through nature before ending with an intense battle and ultimate victory.
GOLDMARK Violin Concerto No. 1 MAHLER Symphony No. 1
This intimate concert of Baroque and Classical favorites centers around a charming and operatic double concerto for flute. Rounding out the program are selections from Handel’s regal Water Music and Mozart’s solemn 40th Symphony, one of only two he wrote in a minor key.
