From Maestro Russell Ger:
Mahler is my favorite composer. His symphonies wrestle with the very essence of being human. And none do this more overtly than his magisterial Second Symphony. This piece is a reckoning with life’s fundamental meaning and the ultimate destination of the soul.
The finale is one of the most awe-inspiring musical experiences you can ever have. A vast choir of angels beckons us to heaven, performed here in collaboration with the combined choruses of West Point Glee Club and the Cappella Festiva Chamber Choir, amassing a total of some 250 musicians and singers on the stage.
Lastly, the theme of Resurrection itself is so germane and applicable to our own GNSO story here in Newburgh. In fact, it is the overarching theme of this entire anniversary season. We at GNSO like to think of the orchestra as a symbol of Newburgh’s renaissance, an emblem of Newburgh Rising.
The arts are always a harbinger of renewal and growth, and we want the symphony to be seen leading the charge in this.
