Overview
Celebrate the new Miami season as Franz Welser-Möst conducts Mahler’s Third Symphony, a "great hymn to the glory of every aspect of creation." In this gargantuan work, Mahler wrote into music what the great outdoors had taught him in long summer hikes across mountains and meadows, what he'd learned of humanity on earth and angels in heaven. And ending, dramatically, in one of the most beautiful slow movements ever written, in which Mahler achingly etches the enduring beauty and power of love.
