MAHLER FIVE
CCM Philharmonia
Mark Gibson, music director and conductor
The next stop on CCM Philharmonia’s Mahler excursion is his epic Symphony No. 5, paired with the world premiere of CCM Professor Michael Fiday’s new orchestral work “5.” Introduced to American audiences with its U.S. premiere by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1905, Mahler’s fifth is a romantic masterpiece — from the iconic trumpet fanfare opening to the final Adagietto, often dubbed Mahler’s “greatest hit,” the music takes audiences on an emotional journey from mourning to triumph.
FIDAY: “5” *World Premiere
MAHLER: Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp Minor (1902)
Estimated run time: 100 minutes
