One of Mahler’s most massive creations, his Third Symphony vies to express the whole world, as the composer expected all symphonies to do. Long-time Mahler champion Zubin Mehta describes the Third—a piece close to his heart—as containing all of nature (“you can smell the Alpine flowers”), complete with nature’s contradictions of endearing beauty and stark brutality. Mehta stirs the vocal and instrumental ensembles into expressions of summer bursting forth, followed by profound communications from the flowers, the forest animals, humankind, and the angels, all capped by a monumental movement conveying Love itself.

“All my life, I have taken pleasure in the differing moods and music of gladly chiming and mournfully tolling bells,” Rachmaninoff said. The Bells was inspired in large part by the poem of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe. Each movement evokes a different flavor of bells connected to life stages and the passing of time—from sleigh bells to wedding chimes to a mournful funereal peal. Dudamel leads the LA Phil and the Los Angeles Master Chorale in this gorgeous and haunting choral symphony.

Named after a Robert Frost poem, the bright and brilliant star - seemingly out of reach, yet just within grasp - is the beacon of light guiding the music featured in this concert. A person, place, dream, or literal star serves as a fixed point to which we project our imagination, ideals, and feeling of home.
Featuring two world premieres, VOYAGER written by Matthew Brown and Alas de noche by Diana Syrse, along with extrodinary pieces from classic Brahms to contemporary Runestad, this program is about what inspires us and to what we aspire.
