Feel the contrast between the starkness of the desert and the frenetic intensity of spring's awakening, as Creative Partner David Robertson pushes the boundaries of sound and sensation in an electrifying performance. Delve into the hypnotic minimalism of Steve Reich's The Desert Music as the haunting vocals of London-based Synergy Vocals (known for their performances of Steve Reich’s works) evoke vast, barren expanses.
Then, brace for the impact of Stravinsky's groundbreaking The Rite of Spring, where primal rhythms and explosive energy collide to depict the raw power of nature in all its untamed glory. Lose yourself in the relentless pulse of creation and destruction as Stravinsky captures elemental forces—and the wildness of life and death.

We welcome back our dear friend, Music Director Emeritus Thierry Fischer, for the first of three special programs!
Known for its monumental power—and the gentle beauty of its Adagietto—Mahler’s Fifth Symphony moves from mourning, to love, to triumph, and will be a guaranteed showstopper under Fischer’s baton. With themes of Mahler’s own life reflected in the music, including his courtship of his wife Alma Schindler in a "declaration of love," this will be an evening not to be missed!
Thierry also continues our exploration of the Haydn symphonies (only 92 left to go!) with Symphony No. 13. Featuring an unforgettable solo cello moment in the poignant Adagio, this lesser-known gem from Haydn's repertoire offers buoyant beauty.
