Maestro Brown will take the stage and his seat at the piano in his last official performance as the Principal Conductor of the ASO. Come celebrate his triumphant career with some of his favorite works. He'll begin by conducting Mozart's sprightly Piano Concerto No. 23 from the keyboard. Then it's on to Mahler's Fifth Symphony, which stands as one of the most towering works Mahler ever composed. From the depths of despair to the pinnacle of love (dedicated to his new bride, Alma), Mahler tugs at every emotion and demands much of musicians and listeners alike. It's the perfect work to celebrate Maestro Brown's accomplishments with the ASO and his return as Music Director Laureate in 2012-2013!
