UM Gusman Concert Hall
Gerard Schwarz, conductor
Join the Frost Symphony Orchestra as it performs Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No.7, hailed as one of the most provocative symphonic statements of the early twentieth century. In it, his innovative instrumentation and demanding writing nearly reinvents the sound of the orchestra. Igor Stravinsky’s opera suite from Le chant du rossignol (The Song of the Nightingale), based on Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, follows. The program concludes with a new work by the winner of the Frost student composition competition.
