Looking Forward by Looking Back at Mahler 8
Allegro is already preparing for our most ambitious undertaking in our 25 years of performing: Mahler Symphony No. 8, also referred to as Symphony of A Thousand. This work is marked by a gigantic force of a massive (100+ piece) orchestra, organ, two full SATB choirs, a children’s choir, and eight vocal soloists. There seem to have been only two performances of this work in Pennsylvania in its 116 years of existence, both by the Philadelphia Orchestra: the American premier in 1916, and the 100-year anniversary of that premier in 2016. Here, we’ll look back at the origins of this grand work and in doing so, look forward to presenting Mahler's Eighth Symphony to the Lancaster community for the first time ever.
Winter Wonders: A Look at the Nextgen Winter Concert Repertoire
On March 1st, our Overture and Allegretto students filled the Sanctuary of First United Methodist Church. This concert, like Nextgen’s Fall concert from October, brought these two stunning groups together on one stage, providing an exciting new experience for players and audience members alike.
Now, Overture students get to work with more advanced repertoire, Allegretto students get the opportunity to play in a full symphonic orchestra, and our audience gets to experience the incredible work of both groups in one wonderful concert!
