It’s a sound that envelops you as it fills the hall with majesty: an orchestra of 100, massed choruses of 400, and eight soloists, led by the amazing JoAnn Falletta, joined as one in the soaring glory of Gustav Mahler’s vision of divine redemption. Mahler’s masterwork has been compared to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony as a celebration of the triumph of the human spirit. Dubbed the “Symphony of a Thousand,” the work is rarely performed because of the vast musical resources required; Mahler himself considered it his crowning achievement, describing his vision as the sound of “the whole universe beginning to ring and resound….” Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience a truly awe-inspiring musical event—order your tickets now.
