From A Mythic Flight to Mozart’s Mastery: A Grand Finale
Ascending Bird describes the journey of a mythic bird that tries to reach the sun - it tries and fails, and tries again, before finally reaching the radiant embrace of the sun and losing its physical body in a metaphor for spiritual transcendence.
We’ll remain in the heavens, from which the music of Mozart was said to be plucked, for a piano concerto featuring the virtuoso Dr. Adam Haas, before finishing the season with the lush and radiant Symphony No. 3 by Max Bruch, in a concert all about rapturous joy. For this one, we’ll need the expanded stage across the hall at the Ent Center’s Shockley Zalabak Theater - a fittingly majestic finale to a breathtaking season.
