Maestro Tausk concludes the season with Mahler’s deeply introspective Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth), which reminds us the fleeting nature of life versus the eternity of the world. Plus, the overture from Mozart’s timeless classic The Magic Flute, and the return of Dorothy Chang’s Gateways, a concerto for piano and erhu, which thematically connects to the Chinese poetry from which Mahler drew inspiration for Das Lied von der Erde.

The most famous love story ever written is told through the universal language of music in Prokofiev’s impassioned and romantic Romeo and Juliet. Dorothy Chang’s Northern Star points the way to a world of evocative soundscapes and kaleidoscopic color. And, Principal Cellist Brinton Averil Smith performs one of classical music’s most popular cello concertos—Dvořák poured his soul into it, and it includes some of his most heart-achingly beautiful music.
