Thu 9/29 & Fri 9/30 @ 7:30PM
The Cleveland Orchestra kicks off its full (yay!) 2022-23 season this weekend with a blast of music: Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (“Resurrection”).
Mahler, of course, is known for his powerful, rousing music, and this symphony in particular is beloved for its sonic fireworks. First performed in 1895, it features not only a large orchestra, but also a choir and soloists, to convey its ideas about the search for the meaning of life and death and his vision of the afterlife — no small task.
Music director Franz Welser-Möst will be conducting the concert, which features the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, soprano Lauren Snouffer and mezzo-soprano Marie-Nicole Lemieux.
