Some of the most stunningly beautiful works in all of classical music will stir the soul as the TSOs fabulous strings and harp take centre stage. Mahlers heart-rending Adagietto from his Symphony No. 5 utterly captivates and seemingly stops time. An 11th-century poem by Omar Khayym inspired pop-influenced grooves in the music of Dinuk Wijeratne, and Kelly-Marie Murphys Rains of Ash and Embers extols Canadas natural wonders while contemplating our role in preserving them. A brief but life-changing moment between two young lovers plays out amid a backdrop of moonlit trees and unabashedly sensuous music in Schoenbergs Verklrte Nacht (Transfigured Night).Gustavo Gimeno, conductorJoseph Johnson, celloCharles Settle, percussion Caroline Shaw: Boris KernerDinuk Wijeratne: A Letter from the After-life from Two Pop Songs on Antique PoemsKelly-Marie Murphy: Rains of Ash and EmbersMahler: Adagietto from Symphony No. 5Schoenberg: Verklrte Nacht (Transfigured Night) (String Orchestra Version, 1943)Wed, November 17 and Thu, November 18, 2021 at 8:00pm
