Item Description

Celebrate the end of tax filing with a trip to Carnegie Hall on April 16 for the 8PM performance of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the renowned Marin Alsop conducting. You'll enjoy easy-in/easy-out seating on the Parquet level with two aisle seats for a concert comprising a new work commissioned by Carnegie Hall and Mahler's masterful symphony No. 5.

Item Special Note

The New York Times has called Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Music Director Marin Alsop "a conductor with a vision of what an American orchestra could be in the 21st century." This concert features a new work by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall, and Mahler's emotional Symphony No. 5. Mahler cast his Fifth Symphony in five movements, opening with the Funeral March and bringing down the house with a jubilant finale. Just before that finale is the Adagietto, a breathlessly beautiful love letter for strings and harp to his wife Alma that may be the composer's most famous work.
