FSO - Mahler V
By Mark Flegg
For our first concert of 2009, the Flint Symphony Orchestra will be performing Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. As a trumpeter, performing any Mahler symphony is always a treat, and I’ve been fortunate to perform nearly all of his symphonic works during my time with the FSO.The fifth holds a special place as one of the most important orchestral trumpet parts in the repertoire. I’ve wanted to perform it since the very early days of my musical career, so I’m very excited about this performance. More information is available here.
