Music ASO Season Finale: Mahler's Third Symphony

For the finale of the Amherst Symphony Orchestra's 2024 spring season, the ASO tackles the behemoth Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler.  This work takes the audience on a philosophical as well as musical journey, from the primordial soup of Earth's depths to the highest pinnacles of human love.  With an enormous orchestra, six movements, two choirs and an operatic soloist, Mahler's maximalist masterpiece is an uplifting celebration of "What the World Teaches Us" and a triumphant culmination to the season.  Ann McMahon Quintero, a leading mezzo-soprano with Boston Baroque, major symphony orchestras, and opera houses around the world, appears as guest soloist with the ASO.
