June 24–27
Lorin Maazel brings his tenure as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic to a grand finale with Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8, featuring sopranos Christine Brewer, Nancy Gustafson, and Jeanine De Bique; mezzo-sopranos Mary Phillips and Nancy Maultsby; tenor Anthony Dean Griffey; bass Wolfgang Schöne; bass-baritone Jason Grant; the New York Choral Artists; The Dessoff Symphonic Choir; and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. Mr. Maazel discusses how he struggled to understand Mahler's work – eventually becoming enamored of it – and Ms. Gustafson reflects on the message of the work: that the power of love will triumph over evil.
