“In our second Classics of the season, we are once again going to delve into Gustav Mahler. This time: his Symphony No. 5. In last season’s performance of his Symphony no. 1 the music started with the cosmos, zeroing in to the hero, going through pain and death until he broke through to the other side. His symphony no. 5 on the other hand is starting with a funeral march. The third movement is simply the expression of incredible energy. The Adagietto is a love letter to Alma. He finishes with utter joy. To put the composition in context, we are going to resurrect some sounds of the Vienna of the late 19th century, a time where everything, the entire life of every part of society was focused around the emperor and around a deep-rooted system of nobility, bourgeoisie, workers and farmers without any options of vertical development. Yet, music connecting everybody, being the life blood of society.”

Those who frequent the KSO (indoors and out), know that all forms of jazz fit comfortably within the KSO’s wheelhouse. Stumbling upon intriguing jazz orchestrations of Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Dvorak, Gershwin, Holst, Suppe, Verdi, led James Cassidy to assemble an All-Star Big Band to end the 33rd season with a bang.

The concert opens with the jazz piano stylings of Eugen Cicero and his take on C.P.E. Bach’s Solfeggio in C minor. Consummate 1950s-60s arranger Billy May’s no-holds-barred approach to Hungarian Dance No. 5, Poet and Peasant Overture, Humoresque and others, paired with today’s big band guru Gordon Goodwin’s interpolations of the Two-part Invention in D minor, Symphony No. 40 in G minor and Rhapsody in Blue, and Jeremy Levy’s re-imagining of The Planets sets the stage for a veritable “hornucopia” of in your face classics à la jazz to close the KSO’s 33rd campaign.
