Redwood Symphony presents three extraordinary musical visions—one grand and engaging, one born from loss and transcendence, and a thought-provoking work of art that challenges and inspires.
Respighi’s joyous orchestral reimagining of Bach’s organ masterpiece stands among the finest arrangements ever written, transforming Baroque melody into spectacular orchestral colors.
Mahler follows at his most personal and prophetic. Kindertotenlieder is a song cycle for voice and orchestra that deals with the death of children. Profoundly human - it is music that confronts loss with honesty, tenderness, and aching beauty.
Completing the program is Witold Lutosławski’s magnum opus, Symphony No. 3 - a work of towering imagination and emotional power that stands as one of the great symphonic statements of the 20th century.
Together, these works create an evening of depth, contrast, and unforgettable impact.
