March 31, 2021 Resurrecting Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony
As we celebrate Easter, the Toledo Symphony makes available its monumental performance of Gustav Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony from two years ago (streaming this weekend only at stream.artstoledo.com). We revisit that spectacular event – all the more potent under the current pandemic climate – which brought together outstanding vocal soloists with choirs from around the region. Also as an added bonus, we test our Easter trivia knowledge (both religious and secular) with the quiz of the day!
