Tchaikovsky was the only man that could convince this king of symphonic poems to write something new. Only after hearing Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony performed in Helsinki did he write a symphony of his own, 24 years after he first began composing.

In spite of the Soviet Union's state in 1944, Prokofiev wanted his 5th symphony to be "a hymn to free and happy Man." RIP Prokofiev, you would have loved Dumbledore for saying that "happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

Tchaikovsky struggled writing his Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture 😔 We'll be performing the 3rd iteration of the piece, lucky for you since both of the earlier versions were met with a very lukewarm reception. Maybe you'll enjoy this piece more than anyone has ever before 👀

🌟 Meet Jonathan Russell, the composer behind the bass clarinet concerto featured in our season finale! 🌟 He creates music by turns tender and fierce, playful and profound, raw and refined, propulsive and still.

Mahler, a desperate and at best tumultuous lover boy, channels his emotions into the 4th movement of his first symphony - "From the Inferno to Paradise." He believed that love was the only force that cloud fight fate, and begins this movement with a giant CRASH 💥

Remember Frère Jacques? The 3rd movement of Mahler's first symphony reworks that into a minor tune, then he throws us for a loop by mixing in some concepts of a wedding party 😀

🍻 PROST!!! 🍻 As we listen to the 2nd movement of Mahler's first symphony, he transports us to his father's tavern underneath his apartment.

Join us for our season finale as we perform Mahler's breathtaking First Symphony! Picture this during the opening movement: in Iglau, Bohemia (now Jihlava, Czech Republic) you're a child wandering in the forest, where the summer midday sunshine glitters between the branches 🌲✨
