Today on Access Utah: the music of Gustav Mahler from his Third Symphony. Our guests include USU Music Professor Sergio Bernal, Austrian conductor Christoph Campestrini  with Vienna Hofmusikkapelle, and mezzo-soprano and USU Alumna Tamara Mumford of Metropolitan Opera. Immerse yourself in a universe of awakenings, nature, humankind, and eternity envisioned by Mahler, a composer for whom ''a symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.''

The concert will feature guest conductor Christoph Campestrini, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford, the women of the USU choirs, the Cache Children's Choir and the USU Symphony Orchestra performing one of the greatest symphonies of all time.

 

The music featured in today’s episode is performed by The Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Markus Stenz, the women of the Netherlands Radio Choir, The National Children's Choir and alto Tamara Mumford perform Mahler's 'Symphony No. 3' on December 23th 2017 in TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht.
