Gustav Mahler was a man for big ideas, big questions. In his Symphony No. 2, the "Resurrection" symphony, he explores one of the greatest questions of all - what comes after death? Join Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra this weekend as they follow Mahler into the mystery of the afterlife. 

PROGRAM

MacMillan - Miserere

Mahler - Symphony No. 2 in C minor, "Resurrection"

Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will perform this program on June 2, 3, and 4 at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh, PA. Buy tickets here.

For centuries, immigrants have streamed into America - many with few possessions and little money. But they brought their music. If Lady Liberty wrote down every note and rhythm that landed in New York Harbor, she might have been of the greatest composers in history! In this episode for the Philadelphia Orchestra, we take a look at just a few of her musical children.

Bernstein - Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs for Solo Clarinet and Jazz Ensemble

Metheny - Duo Concerto for Vibraphone and Marimba
