Austrian composer Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 presents a musical interpretation of heaven. Sleigh bells and flutes open the symphony with a delicate chiming, and later, the angelic voice of a soprano arrives in the final movement to sing texts from Mahler’s favorite book of German poetry. To balance out the program, British conductor Dame Jane Glover makes her debut as FWSO’s Principal Guest Conductor with pianist Imogen Cooper in Mozart’s final piano concerto, the No. 27 in B-flat major, and soprano Lauren Snouffer sings the ever-delightful Exsultate, jubilate.

Program:

Exsultate, jubilate by Mozart
Piano Concerto No. 27 by Mozart 
Symphony No. 4 by Mahler
