Our festival is about Mahler and his music. That includes performing new music, as Mahler did regularly. Though, we must admit, this one was more just for fun since we had Jesse and Craig in town for the festival anyway.

Thanks for sharing. This is from a late night show after a traditional chamber music concert. When you have musicians like this in your orchestra, you find a way to use their talents!
