Join your Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra as we bask in the exotic sounds and poetry of the Far East.
Basking in the exotic sounds and poetry of the Far East.
Mahler's "Song of the Earth" is a voyage to China during the Tang dynasty. Mahler sets six ancient Chinese poems in the style of the late romantic music of turn-of-the-century Vienna. The program begins with inspiration from Asia Minor and Asia Major, drawing on music old and new to create an unforgettable evening of exotic orchestral sound and imagery.
