Laura Dwyer and Lynne Radcliffe, music education program managers for the Jacksonville Symphony Association, would like to invite you to a very special concert. Next week the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra will present
Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2
“Resurrection”
Gustav Mahler took six years to complete his second symphony, subtitled “Resurrection,” in which he expounds on the life and death of the hero from his first symphony. It has been described as an overwhelming experience that addresses life’s biggest questions about death and the mystery of it all.
The Symphony Chorus joins the orchestra for the final, powerful movement:
“I am from God and will return to God!
Dear God will give me a light,
Will illumine me to eternal, blessed life!”
At the end of the Symphony, Mahler tell us, “an almighty love shines through us with blessed knowing and being.”
We hope that you will join us for this powerful, moving concert.
See Tony Cruz for information on obtaining tickets.
