The Eugene Symphony Chorus takes the stage for three a capella pleas for forgiveness before they are resurrected with the orchestra in Mahler’s epic symphony.

The perfect end to Francesco Lecce-Chong’s tenure as Music Director & Conductor of your Eugene Symphony, the evening begins with three a capella pieces by American trailblazer Amy Beach, featuring the Eugene Symphony Chorus. These three chorales sound a plea for forgiveness and then Gustav Mahler’s deeply spiritual and uplifting “Resurrection” Symphony will guide you on a journey from darkness to light.

Mahler's Resurrection Symphony

Hult Center for the Performing Arts

Our three-year deep dive into Wagner’s tragic and romantic opera comes to a close with Act III, featuring Isolde’s famous “Liebestod.”

The third and final act of Tristan und Isolde, the conclusion of our three-year exploration of Richard Wagner’s operatic masterpiece, reminds us that the transformative power of love conquers all, even death. American composer Scott Joplin, the “King of Ragtime,” was among the many inspired by the opera. The overture to Joplin’s opera Treemonisha, placed in a former slave community in 1884, opens the concert after Francesco shares his thoughts about the enduring significance of Tristan und Isolde.
