About this Concert

With its tremendous emotional range, breathtaking melodies, and the exceptional virtuosity required of its musicians, Mahler’s Fifth Symphony creates a soul-stirring orchestral experience. This monumental symphony is paired with a new concerto by Carlos Simon performed by two of the brightest stars in the string world: three-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn and Grammy-nominated cellist Seth Parker Woods. The magnificence of Mahler’s Fifth and the power of these two soloists make for a breathtaking collection of sounds.
