Next Up: Mahler’s Symphony No. 3
Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 7:30pm
With Fairfield County Chorale, Fairfield County Children’s Choir and soloist Ann Quintero.
After the resounding success of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in 2022, we will conclude this season with an all-the-stops-out performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. This remarkable composition delves into the grandeur and intricacies of nature. It will feature a massive orchestra, a children’s choir, a women’s choir, and a mezzo-soprano solo. A truly epic finale to an epic season
We ask everyone to bring a non-perishable food item for the Connecticut State Community College in Norwalk (formerly Norwalk Community College) food pantry. We will collect these items in the lobby of Norwalk City Hall and deliver them to the food pantry.
