Rafael Payare, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra MAHLER: Symphony No. 7 in E minor One of the greatest orchestral composers of all time, Gustav Mahler wrote symphonies which – as a later composer famously remarked – “sum up the whole history of music”. Rafael Payare is a passionate, renowned champion of Mahler and determined this composer should be central to the repertoire and mission of our San Diego Symphony Orchestra. In this concert, he reaches the epic Seventh Symphony, a huge cathedral of sound in five movements, which move from an eerie opening inspired by a trip across an alpine lake at night, through three central movements filled with the ghosts of nocturnal dreams and experiences, to an ending like a colossal and heroic dawn in which all humanity seems to be celebrating.

Puppetry is one of the oldest and most accessible art forms, and is used all over the world to tell stories both beautiful and strange. Our workshop will explore three diverse styles of puppetry: shadow, found object, and rod. Students will learn about each of these styles, have the opportunity to explore and animate, and be provided with materials to create a basic puppet in one style of their choosing to use in a short, devised solo or small group performance.
