LAWRENCE GOLAN, CONDUCTOR
HEATHER HILL, SOPRANO

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio! (Let me explain, oh God!)
Hildegard von Bingen: ‘Rainbow Body Theme’ from Ave Maria, O auctrix vite
Christopher Theofanidis: Rainbow Body
Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 4 soprano solo

This concert highlights composers from Gustav Mahler to Christopher Theofanidis who were inspired by the dreamland of heaven. Influenced by German folk poetry and his childhood, Mahler’s famous Fourth Symphony tells a tale of purely innocent joy and heavenly enchantment. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the aria, Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio, to complement his sister-in-law’s vocals – opening softly with a melody and then culminating in a challenging finish. Moved by Hildegard von Bingen, Christopher Theofanidis developed Rainbow Body by weaving elements from von Bingen’s Ave Maria to introduce grace among his restless, stirring sections.

Arrive early for a pre-concert talk led by Assistant Conductor Rebekah O’Brien, free to all ticketholders!
