Although we have done chamber music reductions before in the Festival, notably last year’s Mozart piano concerto, a chamber version of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony must be our biggest and most ambitious condensation to date! To warm us up for the big event, we have a contemporary piece by Natalie Klouda and our final great classical music “B”, Beethoven’s early string trio.
