We return to the classics in April with a performance of Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major and Mozart’s Great G minor Symphony (one of only two symphonies Mozart wrote in a minor key).
The program will also include a rarely performed work of Gustav Mahler. First composed in 1884 as incidental music for a play, Blumine formed the kernel of which Mahler’s First Symphony was born. Mahler eventually removed the movement from the symphony (completed in 1888), perhaps because the gentle trumpet solo performed over a small orchestra, was in too sharp a contrast to the gigantic scoring of the rest of the piece.
