    Reinecke, Concerto in D Major for Flute & Orchestra Mahler, Symphony No. 7 Delightful, lyrical and lovely--the opening concerto unfolds in three beautifully contrasting movements providing a virtuoso opportunity for the 2009 Byrd Competition winner joining us this evening. They were penned by a most versatile Danish musician who worked as a composer, conductor, pianist and influential teacher and who befriended other great musicians of his time like Schumann and Mendelssohn. Following intermission, Mahler's brave score brings a sense of fearless adventure to his work. Sometimes called Song of the Night, this piece features three central "night movements" reminiscent of the evening sounds the composer so loved: muted cowbells, gentle bird calls and the soft flutterings of nature. The piece ends in the brilliance of day, announced by the timpani and horns.
