OPENING NIGHT: GENIUS & POWERHSING-AY HSU, PIANOSat., September 17 - 7:30 PM at Macky

J.S. BACH Concerto No. 1 in d minorMAHLER Symphony No. 1, “Titan”

Revel in the purity and complexity of one of Bach’s greatest concertos (originally written for harpsichord), performed by the versatile and brilliant Boulder-based pianist Hsing-Ay Hsu. Then celebrate the 150th anniversary of Gustav Mahler’s birth with his titanic Symphony No. 1—perhaps the greatest “� rst symphony” ever written. Mahler’s immense orchestra delivers both intimacy and overwhelming power.

Indulge your senses with an evening of lush music infused with the spirit of France. We open with Satie’s familiar Gymnopédies and the colorful and cinematic “Romantic” Symphony by Howard Hanson.

Gershwin’s ever-popular An American in Paris evokes the sights and energy of the French capital in the 1920s.
