DUDAMEL CONDUCTS MAHLER 5

Gustavo Dudamel leads the SF Symphony in a program that balances Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's dramatic Symphony No. 38, Prague and Gustav Mahler's masterful Fifth Symphony. Opening with a lone trumpet call that devolves into a most unusual funeral dirge, Mahler's monumental work winds its way through frenetic bursts of energy, bucolic scenes, a yearning and gorgeous slow movement, and, finally, the jubilant and triumphant finale--a fitting culmination for one of the composer's most beloved works.
