The San Diego Symphony has offered us 20 tickets to their production of Where the Shining Trumpets Blow: Payare Leads Bruckner No. 4 on Friday, November 7th and Saturday, November 8th at 7:30 PM. These tickets are offered on a first come, first served basis. As we normally get more RSVP requests than we have available seats, please help us all out by only requesting what you plan to use and if your plans change let us know ASAP so that we can offer the tickets to someone else. There are no guarantees beyond the first 20 seats requested.
Please RSVP no later than noon on Sunday, November 2nd using the form below. I will send out instructions to receive tickets when I get confirmation back from the Symphony. Tickets are electronic, so your email will be necessary. There will be no physical tickets distributed.
This is part of a new partnership with the Symphony and should be a great experience!
Any RSVP requests in excess will be placed on a waitlist and tickets allocated based on cancellations. If your plans change please let Joe Zilvinskis know at Joe@pozabilities.org or (619) 948-5946.
Where the Shining Trumpets Blow: Payare Leads Bruckner No. 4
Rafael Payare, conductor
Matthias Goerne, baritone
San Diego Symphony Orchestra
MAHLER: Selections from The Boy's Magical Horn (Des Knaben Wunderhorn)
BRUCKNER: Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major, WAB 104, “Romantic”
Few literary works had as significant an influence throughout the 19th century as The Boy's Magical Horn (Des Knaben Wunderhorn); its mix of everyday experience and the supernatural and bizarre were a perfect match for the Romantic movement. Mahler, one of the greatest songwriters of all time, used these texts as the basis for his own creation, evoking the lives and feelings of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
(Of the dozen or so songs that Mahler orchestrated in this collection, six of them will be heard on this concert: "Rheinlegendchen," "Wo die schönen Trompeten blasen," "Das irdische Leben," "Urlicht," "Revelge" and "Der Tambourg’sell".)
Bruckner’s spacious symphonies are filled with images of the countryside and high mountains of his native Austria; his Symphony No. 4, “Romantic” is especially loved for its magnificent writing for the horns, using these instruments to suggest wild huntsmen riding across a landscape.
Gustav Mahler's beautiful melodies evoke the lives and feelings of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Mahler’s much-loved teacher was Anton Bruckner, whose gloriously spacious symphonies are filled with images of the green countryside and high mountains of his native Austria.
