Mahler's Fourth Symphony
When: Friday 20th April 2012 - 7.30pm
Where: St David's Hall, The Hayes, Cardiff CF10 1AH
Mahler's Fourth Symphony is one of his most relaxed works - classical, song-like and culminates in a representation of a child's view of heaven. An early commentator remarked, "Mahler's Symphony is a work for children and those who will become children." Simon Holt's The Yellow Wallpaper is a dramatic piece for soprano and orchestra (with sopranos placed within the orchestra!). It sets to music the story of obsession caused by living in a room with yellow wallpaper by the early feminist writer Charlotte Perkins Gillman.
