The concert will open with Carlos Surinach's tribute to Medieval Spain's rituals. Taken from actual Spanish music and scored for winds, brass and percussion, it will be a great display for our musicians. After our annual Concerto Competition winner performs, we'll pay tribute to Gustav Mahler. His Symphony No. 4 is his gentlest, most intimate symphony. Guest Cara Gabrielson will sing the final movement, a setting of the Wunderhorn song "The Heavenly Life" in which a child describes Heaven to those who can only imagine its delights.

Surinach: Paeans and Dances of Heathen Iberia (for double wind orchestra, with members of PYCO) • Concerto Competition Winner • MAHLER: Symphony No. 4, Cara Gabrielson, Soprano
