With Fairfield County Chorale, Fairfield County Children’s Choir and Soloists.

After the resounding success of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in 2022, we will conclude this season with an all-the-stops-out performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. This remarkable composition delves into the grandeur and intricacies of nature. It will feature a massive orchestra, a children’s choir, a women’s choir, and a mezzo-soprano solo. A truly epic finale to an epic season
