Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90 “Italian”
Mahler: Kindertotenlieder
Wagner: Tannhäuser, overture to the opera

VENUE NOTE:
Music by Richard Wagner is Buddhistic, and music by Gustav Mahler is life itself. At least that is what we are told by the Czech Philharmonic’s chief conductor Semyon Bychkov, who has been involved with both composers throughout his career. And the Italian Symphony by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy is beautiful, plain and simple. We invite you to a concert that begins with a symphony and ends with an overture.
