Tucson Desert Song Festival - Mahler and Schumann with Sasha Cooke

About the Event

Metropolitan Opera star Sasha Cooke will perform selections from Mahler’s five-song cycle based on the poems of Friedrich Rückert. The brilliant young composer Chelsea Komschlies’ new work, a TSO commission through the League of American Orchestras Toulmin Commissions Program, also has its world premiere. Maestro Gomez continues his Schumann cycle with the composer’s Symphony No. 3, the Rhenish, and Coleridge-Taylor’s beautiful, rarely-played Ballade completes the program. This concert will be preceded by Concert Comments, a pre-concert talk beginning one hour before each performance.
