Mahler’s Titan by Shekhar, Mahler, Vivaldi, Alkaen (2023/2023), Musiikinjohto Marcelo Lehninger, DeVos Performance Hall, Grand Rapids, United States

Our season finale concert could be none other than the colossus inspired by Jean Paul Richter’s novel, Titan, and written from a mindset of “constructing a world with all the technical means at one’s disposal.” Mahler’s first symphony is a journey through orchestral sounds of nature, happy daydreams, a wedding procession, funeral march, and a victorious finale.
