The second concert of the ECSO’s 2024-25 season honors World Children’s Day, three days earlier. A single work will be performed: Gustav Mahler’s overwhelmingly moving Symphony No. 3 in D Minor, completed in 1896. This concert is generously sponsored by American Landscape and Lawn Science.Mahler called this monumental instrumental and choral composition—the first movement of which is almost a symphony in itself—“a summer’s midday dream.” Joining the orchestra for this not-to-be-missed performance will be mezzo-soprano Janna Baty, a Yale School of Music faculty member; the women of the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Chorus, led by Music Director Dr. Daniel McDavitt; and young Choristers from the Chorus of Westerly. Mahler had two daughters with his wife Alma: Maria Anna, who died of scarlet fever and diphtheria at age 4; and Anna, nicknamed “Gucki,” who became a sculptor and died shortly before her 84th birthday in 1988.
