The Long Bay Symphony continues its 24th Season on Sunday, January 29th from 4:00 – 6:00 in the Myrtle Beach High School Music and Arts Center, 3302 Robert Grissom Parkway, Myrtle Beach, SC.
Mahler’s “Titan” Symphony will feature horn soloist David Jolley.
The late Romantic composer Gustav Mahler strove to embrace the entire world of human emotion in his symphonies. Experience the tragedy and ultimate triumph in Mahler’s first symphonic essay, as well as music by Mahler contemporary Richard Strauss and early Romantic innovator Robert Schumann.
Maestro Charles Jones Evans states: “The symphonies of Gustav Mahler represent the pinnacle of Romantic period grandeur and extremes of emotion. Mahler viewed his works as musical depictions of the entire world of human experience. The Symphony No. 1, his most popular and most frequently performed, takes the listener on a sonic/dramatic journey from delicate forest murmurs to lively peasant dances, from expressions of joy to comic irony, screams of existential pain, and ultimate triumph.”
With 79 musicians, the sheer force of this repertoire will be exciting for both seasoned symphony audiences and first time attendees.
