Event Description:
UF Symphony Director Tiffany Lu is generating a buzz with her command of the Orchestra and ambitious program choices. Watch UF’s Orchestra soar to new heights as they tackle Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 November 7th at the Phillips Center.
Also known as the “Resurrection” Symphony, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 is considered by some to be one of the most profound, emotional, and important symphonic works ever penned. The size of the performing forces and the length of the Second Symphony were unheard of at the time of the symphony’s premiere in 1895. The piece consists of five movements, including a choral finale, utilizes a large symphony orchestra, and employs a chorus and soloists. To complete the emotive vocal components of the piece, the UF Orchestra will be joined by two soloists, Ann Toomey (soprano) and Maire Therese Carmack (mezzo-soprano) as well as the UF Concert Choir and Gainesville Master Chorale, directed by Will Kesling.
This performance will take place at the Phillips Center for Performing Arts Thursday, November 7th at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20-$40 or $12 for students. More information at performingarts.ufl.edu.
