The New York Times has called Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Music Director Marin Alsop “a conductor with a vision of what an American orchestra could be in the 21st century.” This concert features a new work by Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Kevin Puts, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall, and Mahler’s emotional Symphony No. 5. Mahler cast his Fifth Symphony in five movements, opening with the Funeral March and bringing down the house with a jubilant finale. Just before that finale is the Adagietto, a breathlessly beautiful love letter for strings and harp to his wife Alma that may be the composer’s most famous work.
