SUMMARY:Mahler Symphony No. 9
DESCRIPTION:Christian Kluxen\, conductor \nMahler (arr. Simon)\, Symphony No. 9 in D major (arr. for chamber orchestra) \nOne of the most beloved symphonies of all time\, Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 was his last completed work. Alban Berg believed that “ the first movement is the most glorious he ever wrote. It expresses an extraordinary love of the earth\, for Nature. The longing to live on it in peace\, to enjoy it completely\, to the very heart of one’s being\, before death comes”. For this performance\, music director Christian Kluxen leads the VS in the celebrated chamber version by Klaus Simon. Other than the reduction in forces\, Simon’s arrangement neither omits nor alters anything in Mahler’s score. \n*Please note seating is limited to approximately 300 people. When purchasing your tickets\, the seats around you will become unavailable to assure socially distanced seating. All seats are the same price. \nTickets can be purchased online below or by calling Farquhar at UVic at 250.721.8480. Please review the vaccine passport procedures on what to expect at the concert venue.

SUMMARY:Schubert Symphony No.9 - Kluxen’s Return!
DESCRIPTION:Christian Kluxen\, conductor \nSchubert\, Symphony No. 9 in C major (The Great) \nFor his long-awaited return\, VS Music Director\, Christian Kluxen leads Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 in C major. Known as The Great\, this work is strongly linked to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony\, which was given its premiere the year before\, in 1825. Despite explicitly acknowledging Beethoven’s influence by quoting the famous Ode to Joy theme\, Schubert’s own uniquely powerful voice demonstrates why he was daring enough to endure direct comparison with such a towering cultural figure. \n*Please note seating is limited to approximately 300 people. When purchasing your tickets\, the seats around you will become unavailable to assure socially distanced seating. All seats are the same price. \nTickets can be purchased online below or by calling Farquhar at UVic at 250.721.8480. Please review the vaccine passport procedures on what to expect at the concert venue. \nWatch the Pre-Concert Talk. \nCONCERT RECORDING: Please be advised that this concert will be recorded by Roll.Focus. as a part of the 2021/22 Victoria Symphony Virtual Season. While there will be no direct filming of the audience faces\, reactions or expressions\, wide audience shots may be captured and used in the final production. Audience reactions such as clapping will be recorded to add to the energy of the production.
