MAHLER SYMPHONY
NO. 1
The CSO’s emotional range emerges in Mahler’s First Symphony — a world-building Titan that rises from ethereal beginnings to tectonic eruptions of orchestral light. The finale is truly an enormous treat. Bruce Liu, First Prize Winner of the 18th Chopin International Piano Competition, makes his Music Hall debut with Prokofiev’s colorful and fantastically cinematic Third Piano Concerto.

Join us for a season highlighting the talent of the entire Orchestra, plus extraordinary guest artists and orchestral favorites like Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, Dvořák's New World Symphony, Sheherazade, Beethoven’s Eroica and Pines of Rome.
