“A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” Honoring Mahler’s vision, Shepherd Orchestras embark on a journey through his symphonic output with the monumental “Titan,” depicting nature’s sounds as a profound narrative of life. The program also includes excerpts from two pioneering voices: a lyrical movement from Amy Beach’s historic “Gaelic” Symphony and a dramatic prelude from Dame Ethel Smyth’s opera, The Wreckers.
