FSO — Mahler Symphony No. 7

Mark Flegg — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:25:43 +0000

We’ll be starting 2010 with a bang in Flint this month with a performance of Gustav Mahler’s seventh Symphony. It is always a joy to perform Mahler’s works. The trumpet parts in his symphonies are well-written and as musically gratifying as they are challenging. Come on out for an exciting evening!

Also on the program will be the Reinecke Concerto in D major for Flute and Orchestra, featuring 2009 Byrd Competition winner Conor Nelsen.

More Information is available at the FSO website (click here).
