Orchestra Iowa completes its season with “Titan,” by Gustave Mahler, June 1 at the Paramount Theatre. Tim Hankewich describes the work as uplifting, spiritual, and a bucket list piece for musicians. But when Mahler composed it, the musicians found it so difficult to play that Mahler ended up getting forced out of that job!
Also on the program is a dynamic cello prodigy named Zlatomir Fung, performing a piece celebrating King Solomon, and the Orchestra continues to celebrate women composers, with a work from Jennifer Higdon.
One night only, June 1st, 7:30pm at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets at www.orchestraiowa.org.
