Mahler intended his Third Symphony to be everything. Over six movements, it expands from primordial rumblings into birdsong, folk-like dances, and luminous choral writing--an arc that suggests creation itself. Scored for a massive orchestra, a women's chorus, and a boys' choir, Mahler 3 culminates in music of intense, spiritual love. Don't miss the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra's performance of Mahler's masterpiece on Friday, May 8th, and Saturday, May 9th!
