EMOTIONAL DEPTHS: Featuring Mahler's Symphony No. 5

Norman Gamboa, conductor

MICHAEL HAYDN Symphony No. 25
​GUSTAV MAHLER Symphony No. 5

Musical contrasts are often the most engaging and enlightening... 

• JOURNEY BACK with us to the classical era and discover a jewel box symphony by Haydn—Michael Haydn, not his famous brother, Joseph. The symphony, (not Mozart’s, although attributed to him for over a century) is elegant, graceful and refined. 
   
• FAST FORWARD a century and encounter another Austrian composer, Gustav Mahler. Immerse yourself in his very different musical world and a monumental symphony that moves us from grief to jubilation on an emotional trajectory from tormented darkness to brilliant light.
