This concert opens with a fresh take on the story of resurrection with lush layers of colorful sound evoking a cinematic feel.

Resurrexit by Mason Bates will take you on a mystical pilgrimage with shimmering exotic tonalities that give way to contemplation and dramatic stirrings of rebirth.

César Franck’s Symphonic Variations is a masterpiece of collaboration between piano and orchestra celebrating the interplay of poetic musical voices. Christopher Taylor’s virtuosic artistry is a perfect fit for this intimate and lyrical work.

Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 is one of the most profound and transformative works ever. Written over six years, it journeys from a somber funeral march to a luminous vision of resurrection and renewal. Mahler once described this symphony as “my whole life in one work.” Themes of struggle, hope, and transcendence will bring us to a glorious reassurance of light in our lives.

We are thrilled to feature the Madison Symphony Chorus, pianist Christopher Taylor, soprano Jeni Houser, and mezzo-soprano Emily Fons in our performances during this concert weekend!

Be sure to join us an hour before the concert for a Prelude Discussion to learn about the pieces before you hear them performed live!
