Victor Yampolsky, conductor
In the final concerts of his 38 years at the Bienen School of Music, Victor Yampolsky conducts Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 9, closing a season reflecting on the composers that shaped his career. Beloved by audiences and conductors alike, Mahler’s Ninth is often interpreted as his farewell to the world, though it may also be heard as a paean to life’s fleeting joys, and a pondering of eternity. Sweeping in scope, the symphony references Beethoven, Strauss, and Mahler’s own music, concluding with a deeply poignant finale.
