From Darkness Into Light: Mahler and Anthony McGill

A Journey of Love and Longing: Mahler and Kahane

Step into an afternoon of deep emotion and breathtaking beauty as two powerful musical voices-past and present-collide.
The concert opens with world-renowned clarinet superstar Anthony McGill performing the Canadian Premiere of Gabriel Kahane’s "If love will not swing wide the gates", a hauntingly poetic meditation on isolation, resilience, and the quiet ache of longing. Intimate, poignant, and profoundly human, Kahane’s work sets the tone for an unforgettable experience.

Then, brace yourself for the sweeping emotional arc of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 - from the darkness of its funeral march to the radiant light of the iconic Adagietto and the triumphant finale. It’s a symphony of love, loss, and redemption on a truly epic scale.
Two masterpieces. One emotional journey. Prepare to be moved.
