Mozart + Mahler

Program

Award-winning violinist Maria Ioudenitch joins conductor Ramón Tebar and your Calgary Phil for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5, also known as the Turkish Concerto, which transitions from delightful dialogue between soloist and orchestra to an enchanting evocation of rhythms wafting from an Istanbul café. Then, get carried away by Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony, a breathtaking musical journey that begins with a frenzied funeral march and culminates in shimmering declaration of love. Don't miss this marvelous pairing of pieces separated by over a century but unified in a spirit of adventure.
