The BPO's Classics Series comes to a close this weekend with what should be one of the most anticipated and dramatic works of the season: Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3.
Often hailed as one of Mahler's most unique and grandiose works, Mahler's Third explores themes of creation and nature over the course of six movements. There are few works that equal Mahler's Third is scale, as it often clocks in at between 90-120 minutes... a feat that has rarely been approached in the world of symphonic music... especially back in the Romantic period.
This weekends' performances will feature a little bit of everything as the orchestra will be joined by the women of the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus for the fourth and fifth movements.
Be sure to make your way down to Kleinhans this weekend as you do not want to miss out on the opportunity to see a production such as this. This weekends performances were a large determining factor in me purchasing my season passes this year... unfortunately I will be out of town and unable to take the show in.
Performances are as follows:
Saturday, June 2 at 8:00PM
Sunday, June 3 at 2:30PM
Ticket prices range from $25-$72
