Colorado Music Festival: Mahler's 3rd Symphony

  • Chautauqua Auditorium 900 Baseline Road Boulder, CO, 80302 United States (map)

Music Director Peter Oundjian continues his tradition of closing the Colorado Music Festival season with a Mahler symphony, this year presenting the radiant Symphony No. 3. Mahler described this work as “A Summer’s Midday Dream,” fully aware that he was defying symphonic convention: “But to write a symphony means, to me, to construct a world with all the tools of the available technique.” Grammy Award–winning mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron joins the Festival Orchestra, along with St. Martin’s Festival Singers and the Boulder Children’s Chorus, to bring this epic symphony vividly to life.
