"If you listen long enough and with a sufficiently open heart, the division between you and what you’re hearing breaks down. The music is inside you. It tells you the story of your own life."

Thanks, we did too!
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!
Thank you! We had a great day yesterday - satisfied our $10k match and then some!
As a thank you, here's another video from MF38!
