Honeck, Mozart & Mahler
Manfred Honeck's Mahler journey continues with the Symphony #7, one of the highlights of the season. This grand work, composed at a tumultuous time in the composer's life, is sad yet triumphant and features two “night music” movements and is extremely gratifying for the musicians and audience alike. The concert begins with Mozart's “A Little Night Music."
