Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony will fill the hall with a massive chorus to perform a work unparalleled in its power and emotion. Elisso Bolkvadze and Norman Krieger return for piano showcases, and violinist Philippe Quint brings international star power to Little Rock. ASO Concertmaster, AndrewIrvin, presents Bruch’s gypsy-tinged Violin Concerto on our season finale, Beethoven & Blue Jeans! We return Home for the Holidays for the Pops, where you’ll hearyour holiday favorites in a fun show for the whole family – under thestage direction of Nicole Capri – that will have us singing andlaughing together.
