Mahler’s Symphony #3

The Frost Symphony Orchestra performs Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 in D minor at Gusman Concert Hall in Coral Gables. Gerard Schwarz conducts, with mezzo-soprano Robynne Redmon as the vocal soloist, joined by a women’s chorus and a children’s chorus. The six-movement symphony is the only work on the program. Its extended opening movement is followed by five shorter movements that draw on themes from the natural world. Mahler described the work as “A Summer’s Midday Dream” in an 1896 letter.
