“Why have you lived? Why have you suffered? Is it all some huge, awful joke? We have to answer these questions somehow if we are to go on living – indeed, even if we are only to go on dying!” These are the questions Mahler said were posed in the first movement of his Symphony No. 2, questions that he promised would be answered by the finale in the fifth movement."
Join Concordia College Music for the concert of a lifetime of Gustav Mahler's "resurrection" Symphony No. 2 on April 23rd at 6PM in Memorial Auditorium. 🎻🎵🎺
