ANNA CLYNE: This Midnight Hour
RAVEL: Piano Concerto in G major
---
RACHMANINOFF: Symphonic Dances, op. 45

The Evening Standard called him “a true poet of the keyboard: refined, searching, unfailingly communicative." Pianist Extraordinaire Inon Barnatan returns to Aspen for Ravel’s brilliant and jazzy Piano Concerto in G. The concert closes with Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, a piece with ravishing melodies, vivid orchestration, stirring march-like rhythms, and brilliant finale.

Spano Leads Mahler's Third Symphony

Robert Spano conductor 
Kelley O'Connor mezzo-soprano
AOTVA Treble Chorus
Colorado Children's Chorale
Emily Crile chorus director
Cheryl Akin 
    
CAGE 4'33"
G. MAHLER Symphony No. 3 in D minor

In a list of works exemplifying the season theme of “The Adoration of Nature,” Mahler’s 3rd Symphony would be near the top. This gigantic and glorious six-movement hymn to Nature is the longest symphony in the standard repertoire. It’s also one of Mahler’s most optimistic, extroverted works. For Mahler, Nature wasn’t just the natural world; it was the entire world. Just as Nature overflows with astonishing colors and breathtaking beauty, Mahler’s universe of a symphony teems with brilliant orchestration and stunning melodies. Immerse yourself in one of the most uplifting and overwhelming experiences in all of music, Mahler’s gargantuan 3rd!
