MAHLER’S SEVENTH
Friday and Saturday, January 26-27 at 8 p.m.
Sunday, January 28 at 2 p.m.
Helzberg Hall | Kauffman Center
Michael Stern, conductor
MAHLER Symphony No. 7
Music Director Michael Stern leads the Kansas City Symphony in debut performances of Mahler’s Seventh — an epic work that traverses a staggering variety of subjects and moods. The first four movements depict various aspects of nature and the mysteries of the night. Out of darkness, the finale emerges with radiant, euphoric sunshine. Scholars suggest the Seventh portrays the contrast of Mahler’s peaceful summers in the idyllic Austrian countryside with the frenzied schedule he maintained the rest of the year in Vienna.
