MUSICAL TITANS; MAHLER, MOZART, STRAUSS

Experience works from titans of classical music, the great composers Strauss, Mozart, and Mahler. The infectious melodies heard in Strauss’ Overture to Der Fledermaus can be enjoyed by long-time and new symphony goers alike. Guest Pianist, David Allen Wehr, joins Your YSO for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23 A major. Interchanges between the winds, strings, and solo piano create the sighing and sweeping gestures of the achingly beautiful piece. Dubbed “Titan, a tone poem in symphonic form,” Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D Major envelopes nature and the human experience taking listeners through many emotions with changing musical tones.
