SUMMARY:Concord Orchestra presents “The Heavenly Life”
DESCRIPTION:The orchestra\, conducted by Music Director Zeke Fetrow\, performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with Ann Moss as soprano soloist. Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 is a comparatively short work\, lasting less than an hour. The final movement of the symphony is a song “The Heavenly Life” with orchestra accompaniment\, sung by a soprano. The words\, which come from German folk poetry\, are about a child’s naïve view of heaven. The preceding three movements lead up to this song. \nThere are many pleasant tunes and the cozy sound of sleigh bells\, but there are disquieting passages as\nwell. For example\, the second movement is a lively scherzo\, but the principal violin plays an eerie solo\nthat represents the devil’s fiddle. \nSoprano Ann Moss is an acclaimed recording artist\, chamber musician\, and champion of living\ncomposers. She has been a featured soloist with San Francisco Symphony\, SF Chamber Orchestra\, UC\nBerkeley Symphony\, SF Contemporary Music Players\, Music of Remembrance\, and the Ives\, Alexander\,\nLydian and Hausmann String Quartets. \nTickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free. For tickets and information\,\ncall 978-369-4967 or visit https://www.concordorchestra.com/heavenly-life.
