Our program starts with Mahlerei, a concertino for bass trombone and chamber orchestra that Joseph Horowitz stitched together utilizing various tunes from the second movement of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, a whirling waltz/scherzo that we offer in its original form in this year’s final concert. Horowitz created this version specifically for our soloist, David Taylor, an edgy, flamboyant, reckless, experimental musician who was a member of Stokowski’s “American Symphony,” played under Pierre Boulez, and recorded with both the Rolling Stones and Duke Ellington.Kenneth Woods, conductor
